Carlo "Ape" Pellegrini is an Impressionism artist. 7 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Carlo Pellegrini made small prints of faces and figures, mostly for a weekly magazine called Vanity Fair between 1870 and 1889. These quick, lively sketches—like the one from 29 October 1870 or the 24 May 1884 edition—caught politicians, artists, and society types in a few confident lines. Each print was meant to be read at a glance, not studied for hours. See how the nose and hat tilt together in the 21 March 1885 sheet, all drawn in under an hour for the next issue.
