CARRIERA, Rosalba
(b. 1675, Venezia, d. 1757, Venezia)

Portrait of Felicita Sartori

1730s
Pasatel on canvas, 75 x 55 cm
Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence

Sartori was a printmaker, active in Venetian publishing; the mask identifies her with that city. This informal portrait is a sensuous marvel of brilliant hues and varied structures.
