To supplement his income, he worked as a cartoonist and illustrator for several publications (a series of pornographic satirical drawings, have been attributed to him).
VALERIANO BECQUER 3/3 – Outstanding portraitist, he performed works such as The best known carlista painter and his family and his work (the portrait of his brother Gustavo Adolfo Becquer), a work that served as a model for the bust of the group that pays tribute to the poet in the square of Bécquer (in Maria Luisa park in Seville). Portrait as a motif was also used in the 100 pesetas notes used in the second half of the twentieth century.
