Good condition. Beautiful typical work realized by Michela De Vito in the early 20th Century. Michela De Vito became quite a famous artist. She was maybe the daughter, or sister it is not clear, of Camillo de Vito, a renowned painter of guaches depicting views and scenes from everyday life. She worked in Naples at the beginning of the XIX century; sometimes she is mistaken with Michele de Vito. ''A refined painter, very skilled when it came to drawings, she had the characteristic to make her subejct more gentle, compared to her male collegues''; this is how De Rosa and Trastulli describe this artist. This gentleness is quite evident in her figures and in their clothes. 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
