A cartellino (Italian for "small piece of paper") is an illusionistic portrayal of a written note included in painting, mostly with a legend that records the name of the artist, the date, the subject, or some other relevant information about the work. About 500 Renaissance paintings include a cartellino, but the device has been adopted by some later artists.
