Watercolour on ivory colored paper, 1820 c.a. Hand-titled ''Costume di Sorrento'', with autograph caption black ink ''Provincia di Napoli'' on lower margin at the center. Representing a woman in typical costumes of Sorrento. Good conditions, except a visible rip on the loer-right corner, some stains on the left corner, a sign of scotch on higher margin and a usual burnished paper on 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.
