Oil Portrait of Andrés Pico by Solomon Nunes Carvalho


Oil on canvas portrait of Andrés Pico, possibly painted circa 1854 by Solomon Nunes Carvalho. The painting's attribution is debated, with the possibility it depicts one of Pico's brothers. The sitter's identity was initially identified by comparing the painting to a daguerreotype in the collection of the Seaver Center for Western History Research at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. This portrait is significant as potentially the only extant painting of Pico from this period in Los Angeles.
