A Painting on a Pair of Mother of Pearl


A Painting on a Pair of Mother of Pearl



These are shells painted by Rizal in Dapitan and given as a gift to Doña Leonor Valenzuela and later passed into the hands of Doña Margarita Valenzuela.


Leonor Valenzuela is one of Rizal's love interest. She is a tall girl from Pagsanjan. Rizal sent her love notes written in invisible ink. They could only be deciphered over the warmth of the lamp or candle. He visited her on the eve of his departure to Spain and bade her a last goodbye.
