AITA (seudónimo de Rita Matilde de la Peñuela) Nació en La Habana, Cuba, en 1840; murió en fecha desconocida en París. Era AITA, por lo que sabemos, una artista con escuela y buen gusto. Escaso conocimiento se tiene acerca de sus datos biográficos. Aportan información de ella los estudiosos de la iconografía bolivariana Enrique Uribe White y Alfredo Boulton: "Era AITA originaria de La Habana, Cuba. Se llamaba Rita Matilde de la Peñuela y había nacido en 1840. A la muerte de su padre marchó a París. Hizo algunos retratos, y esta obra (en la Colección del Banco Central de Venezuela) es incuestionablemente su trabajo más importante". 1
