 CATIRIERE to paint for a livelihood. Studied under Antonio Lazzari, Diamantini, Balestra, and others, and at the age of twenty-four be- came famous for her miniatures and crayon portraits. In 1703 she became a member of the Accademia Clementina, Bologna, and in 1705 of San Luca, Rome. In company with her brother-in-law, Antonio Pellegrini, she visited Paris in 1720, painted the royal family and many other distinguished per- sons, and was received into the Academy. All the courts of Europe vied in doing her honour and in giving her commissions. She excelled in painting pretty women, and one of her most lovely works is a portrait of herself in crayons in the Dresden Gallery, where are also many other of her pictures. Her heads are especially good, but her arms, hands, and busts are often weak in drawing. Many of her pictures are in the Dresden Museum. She became blind from overwork in 1746. Ch.
