Juana Romani
Juana Romani, née Carolina Carlesimo, is a French portrait painter of Italian origin.
As a young girl in Paris, where her family moved from Italy, she posed for sculptures and paintings, then decided to paint herself and changed her name. Contemporaries appreciated Romani as a master of women's portraits specifically, as she depicted women in historical costumes, mysterious and fabulous.
One of Romani's portraits was awarded a silver medal at the World's Fair (1889).
