Description
Secundino Robles, along with his younger brother Teodoro, owned shares in the quicksilver mine in Alamitos Creek, New Almaden. The brothers, who figured prominently in the history of New Almaden mining, sold their interestes and purchased the Rancho Rincon de Franciquito from Jose Pena. Portrait of Secondino Robles, wearing a white shirt with black vest and suitcoat, and black bow tie. This appears to be mixed media, acrylic and watercolor. There does not appear to be an artist's signature on either the front or the back, but the accompanying portrait of Marie Antonia Robles does appear to have an artist's signature, and it may have been painted by the same artist.
