This Casta painting is a part of the set at the Denver Art Museum. Its title, De Mulato, y Espanola Morisco means from a Mutallo and a Spaniard comes a Morisco. The man is this picture of a Mutallo, which means he is of African and Spanish descent, and his wife is from Spain. They together have a child which is classified as a Morisco. Some things that I noticed in this painting are that their home is plain and very messy. There is a bowl that is spilling something on the floor, and there appear to be dirty dishes on the floor and a hat. There are no decorations, just a wooden table and a barred window. They also appear to be fighting with the aggressor being the Spanish Wife. I think that this painting conveys that this combination of a Mutallo and a Spaniard makes a messy and disorganized household. I have not found anything that particularly relates this painting to The Murmur of Bees, but I would guess that the novel supports this painting.
