She is the first woman sculptor documented in Spain.Roldan is recognized in the Hispanic Society Museum for being "one of the few women artist to have maintained a studio outside the convents in Golden Age Spain". Though Roldán was the "Escultor de Cámara", or Court Sculptor, to Habsburg King Charles II, she experienced financial struggles. Like many artists of her time she died poor, signing a declaration of poverty shortly before her death. On the day of her death, Roldan was given the title of "Academician Merit" from the Academy of Saint Luke in Rome.
