notes:
This painting was sold directly to the U.S. minister plenipotentiary in Quito in 1892. The portrait is based on an 1824 print by Kepper. Boulton states that the lithograph was based in part on the copper engraving of M. N. Bate made in London in 1819. The great grandfather of Salas was Antonio Salas, a personal friend of Bolívar and one of the few who painted him from life in 1822, 1824, 1826, and 1829.
