Although at first the artist was somewhat reluctant to paint portraits, he later managed to acquire a solid reputation through it, especially with regard to the children’s portrait, highly successful at the time, coinciding with a valuation of childhood and with the appearance of family and affective elements. This portrait is an example. He appears with his sons, Carlos María and Vicente. Done in 1843, it was presented at the Madrid Lyceum exhibition in 1844, entitled: The Painter with His Two Sons, forming a pair with another one, entitled Esquivel’s Wife with Her Daughter.
