Sequeira was born in Lisbon,[2] and educated at Bordeaux and Leiden.[3]

He was a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians (LCP) and practised medicine in Mark Lane.[4]
Sequeira was painted in about 1775 by Thomas Gainsborough, one of his patients, and that oil painting now hangs in Madrid's Museo del Prado.[1][2]
