É, tanto pela extensão da sua obra, como pela sua intenção artística e social, um dos maiores caricaturistas portugueses depois de Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, com o qual tem grandes afinidades.…” *** See also Grande enciclopedia XXXIII, 880 and Pamplona, Dicionário de pintores e escultores portugueses [1987-88] V, 310.
