Teodoro Robles divorced his first wife in 1855 over a mystery woman named Lola, and lost half of his share of Rancho Rincon de San Francisquito in the divorce. A marriage license for Maria Ampara Najar and Teodoro shows that they married on September 2, 1864. This portrait is assumed to be Maria Ampara Najar; however it could be Teodoro's first wife, which would date the painting around 1850. Notice that her wedding ring is prominently featured in the composition.
