Citterio
Citterio is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This 18th-century printmaker signed his work “C.” so often that scholars still argue over his first name. He had a habit of hiding tiny portraits of himself in the corners of his engravings—look for a man in a tricorn hat watching you from the edge of a crowded street scene. Why not start with his “H Beard Print Collection” sheet? Flip it over and you’ll find every face in the crowd carries the same sly smile he tucked into the margin.
