Portrait of Antonio José de Sucre in military attire.
notes:
This painting was sold directly to the U.S. minister plenipotentiary in Quito in 1892. The portrait is based on a circular miniature made in Quito in 1828 by José Sáez, an Ecuadorian artist. Sucre was instrumental in Bolivia's declaration of independence in 1825 and he was elected president for life of Bolivia in 1826, a position which he held for only two years. 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.
