Catalogue Note
Juana Carlessimo, called Juana Romani, (1867- 1924) began her training as the pupil of Jean Jacques Henner before becoming a student of Roybet, and later, his mistress. Like Roybet, she chose historical subjects and painted many portraits of young, mysterious women in costume. She particularly enjoyed accurately rendering the refined materials of Renaissance fabrics. (see lot 150) She exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon beginning in 1888.
