Hand-titled ''Zampognari che fanno la Novena di Natale'' (Bagpipers Playing During Christmas Time), hand-signed on lower-right margin. Very good conditions except for some ripples on the higher margin and some signs of renovation on the lower-left margin. Including an ivory colored cardboard passepartout, cm 35 x 27, with some violet ink stains on the lower margin. Very beautiful and good quality watercolour both for the drawing and for the fineness of the colours. Michela De Vito In the XIX century, Michela De Vito native of Abruzzi, worked in Naples and became a famous artist. She was maybe the daughter or sister of Camillo de Vito, a reknown painter of guaches above all of views and scenes of everyday life. 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 subject more gentle, compared to her male collegues''; this is how De Rosa and Trastulli describe her.
