Pastels on cardboard. Signed lower right. Neapolitan painter Vincenzo Caprile, who trained at the School of Fine Arts in Naples, also had the opportunity to explore the School of Resina, an Italian painting movement that developed in the wake of Verism and related to the Macchiaioli movement, where he experimented with the realistic rendering of landscapes and nature. Although he also established himself as a portrait painter, becoming the official portraitist of the House of Savoy, Caprile always favored landscapes and portraits of popular figures. His work is characterized by agile brushstrokes, luminous and tender colors, capable of delicate shading, and is also well interpreted through pastel, as seen in this delicate female nude, a less recurrent subject for him but one that beautifully demonstrates his mastery of light and color. The work is presented in a late 19th-century frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
