Abstract

This article reviews the figure of Pedro Roldán ‘the Younger’ (1665-1720) , son of the famous Sevillian sculptor Pedro Roldán, with whom he is sometimes confused. Some news and works considered by the father are restored to the son, who is also distinguished from a third homonymous resident of the village of Espera. His early works for Luque, Lucena and Archidona demonstrate his willingness to establish himself as independent sculptor even before his father’s death.
