The portrait was commissioned by Blanche de León, Dana Garza and Anna Harrison, sisters who are descendants of Martín de León and Patricia de la Garza.
The sisters, along with de León descendant John Foester and other descendants, have been assisting sculptor Armando Hinojosa with the design of a new statue of Victoria’s founding couple. The statue was commissioned by the City of Victoria and will be unveiled at DeLeon Plaza as part of the City’s bicentennial celebration in 2024.
