Italian School Portrait of a Neapolitan Youth, Oil on Canvas, c.1930s

About the Item

Italian School Portrait of a Neapolitan Youth, Oil on Canvas, c.1930s A spirited and sensitively painted oil on canvas portrait of a young Neapolitan boy, rendered in the Italian School tradition of the early 20th century. The sitter wears a vibrant scarf and cap, his expression captured with warmth and immediacy. The work is unsigned but bears stylistic affinity with popular Neapolitan genre portraiture of the interwar period, combining naturalistic brushwork with a lively palette. Presented in a linen-lined giltwood frame with a shaped slip, likely of later date. The canvas displays areas of light undulation and stable craquelure, commensurate with age. Dimensions: Framed: 26 cm high x 17 cm wide Canvas (sight): approx. 19 x 11 cm Medium: Oil on canvas Origin: Italy Date: Circa 1930s–1940s Condition: Good overall condition. Minor surface wear and craquelure to the canvas. Frame is clean and structurally sound.
