António de Sousa Bastos, in his work "Diccionario do theatro portuguez" (1908), recalls the actress in the following way: "She was beautiful, captivating, she had a lovely smile, an expressive and gentle look, a seductive voice, full of tears when it was necessary, finally all the skills required of an actress." She was one of the muses of the painter Miguel Ângelo Lupi, who made a portrait of her that was exhibited in London in 1866 and at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1867.
