In his masterpiece "Portrait of Simon Bolivar, 1890, " Salas skillfully captures the essence of this legendary soldier and hero of American Independence. With every stroke, Bolivar's determination and unwavering spirit shine through, reminding us why he is considered one of South America's greatest leaders. Equally remarkable is Salas' portrayal of Antonio Jose de Sucre in "Portrait of Antonio Jose de Sucre (1795-1830), 1890.
