Comment if I may add, I think that the particular historic value of this piece is due in large part to the late date in which it was produced. I think when most people think of the Inquisition they think of it in terms of the late medieval period, with the name of 15th century Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada becoming almost synonymous with the Spanish one (and little mention is made in popular culture of the Mexican or Portuguese ones). An artwork depicting contemporary trials in the 19th century, barely a few decades before Spain entered the industrial age, is in my opinion of high value as it dispels this distorted notion of the institution.
