Felicità Sartori was an Italian painter in miniature and pastel. She was born in Pordenone and trained with her uncle, the engraver Antonio dall’Agata, before joining the studio of Rosalba Carriera in Venice around 1728. She moved to Dresden around 1741 but would remain close to Carriera. Sartori copied many of Carriera’s works throughout her life, and her work shares Carriera’s distinctive style.
