Anna Bacherini Piattoli

[1] During this time, she attracted the attention of Niccolò Gabburri, a diplomat who was also an art collector.

She specialized in portrait miniatures and pastels for a living, but also produced some deeply felt religious scenes.

Although she received numerous commissions from the Grand Dukes of Tuscany, few of her works remain and many are in need of restoration; notably a Saint Francis held at the San Salvi Museum [it].

[3] A few large portraits are among her surviving works, including a self-portrait from 1776 at the Uffizi Gallery.

The gallery of the Palazzo Comunale [it] in Prato has a portrait of Teresa da Verrazzano, née Vai, dating from 1753.
