Angelica Le Gru Perotti (1719 – 1 September 1776) was an Italian painter and pastellist of the Rococo, active at first in Northern Italy and Venice. She was born into a family of painters, including her father, the portraitist Stefano Le Gru, and her three brothers, Giuseppe, Tommaso, and Lodovico.[2] Le Gru trained with painter Rosalba Carriera in Venice. She married the painter Pietro Antonio Perotti. In 1768, the Perottis moved to London.[3] Angelica Perotti worked mainly in pastel. She exhibited at least five works at the Royal Academy in 1772 and 1775.[2] She is best known for pastel portraits she completed in London, similar to the voyages of Rosalba Carriera. [3]
