Amelia Pelaez y de Casal was born in the second year of Cuba’s final liberation war against Spain on January 5th, 1896 in Yaguajay, the province of Las Villas, Cuba. Her family was part of the Cuban-Creole middle class, and was well-off both economically and socially as her father was the County Doctor Manuel Peláez y Laredo. In addition, her mother Maria del Carmen del Casal y Lastra was the sister of the great Hispano-American modernist poet Julian del Casal. This association brought Peláez’s family into the highest intellectual circles of Cuba.water color on paper,size:36"h x 24"w,come with frame shipping in US$229
