AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Portrait of a child with unruly curls and an intense gaze, rendered with a vibrant and impasto brushstroke typical of the Neapolitan painting tradition from the late 19th to early 20th century. The dark background, almost burnt-ochre, highlights the luminous complexion of the face, built up with quick, overlapping touches that capture the subject's lively and somewhat melancholy expression. The little one wears a wide white shirt, on whose chest stands out a pendant in the shape of a horn — the traditional "curniciello" Neapolitan good-luck charm — a detail that roots the work in the popular and folkloric context of the Neapolitan city, a subject dear to many painters of the Neapolitan school of the period (Vincenzo Irolli, Attilio Pratella, Antonino Leto and other artists with techniques akin to theirs).
The frame is a gilded relief with an ebony-veneered outer band in vegetal motifs, of 19th-century taste, coherent with the presumed era of the work.
It bears the form of Gabriele Esposito
The painting stands out for an extraordinary tactile rendering, with vigorous, dynamic brushstrokes.
