On the back, a further signature, title, date, and the words "Esposto Galleria Geri" are in pencil. Vittore Antonio Cargnel, father of Lucio Cargnel, was primarily a landscape painter, particularly the author of evocative views of Treviso and thrilling glimpses of Friuli, his native land. He is considered the exponent of intimate landscape painting, for his ability to capture landscapes in the immediacy of atmospheric changes, often on small panels, so as not to miss the moment of a particular lighting condition responsible for the impression made on the artist. In this small work, the view of the city is animated by the numerous figures that populate the town street. The work is presented in a contemporary frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
