Cagliostro is a 1784 by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows three people in a dimly lit room. A man in fancy clothes stands by a table, gesturing as if explaining something. Two women in long, striped dresses face him, one with her back turned. The room has a dark, textured wall and a small window letting in faint light. The word "Cagliostro" is written below the scene, hinting at a famous figure from history. The artist’s name, Daniel Chodowiecki, is signed in the corner.
