Description from the seller
Watercolor on paper depicting Popolana, signed bottom right with G. Mormile.
It is presented in fair conservational condition, with a patina and light signs of aging.
Under a wood lamp, small restorations emerge.
Gaetano Mormile was a renowned artist of the Neapolitan school in the 19th century. He became famous for his genre scenes with folkloric taste, markets, and portraits of townspeople or peasants in traditional dress. The work bears a clearly legible autograph signature at the bottom right, initialed as "G. Mormile". It depicts a smiling girl seated on a rush-seated chair while holding a large tambourine in her hands, adorned with rich southern traditional costumes, conspicuous hoop earrings, and necklaces of pearls and coral. This specific strand linked to popular musicians and players of traditional instruments (such as tambourines, mandolins, and guitars) was one of the themes most loved and reproduced by the painter within his workshop in Naples.
Seller's Story
I am an antiques dealer who has closed his shops (3) with a large remainder of pieces including paintings, porcelain, sculptures, furniture, etc.
I am dispersing all these works at prices very often lower than my purchase prices. They are all guaranteed and original works of great quality and value. Furthermore, through my thirty years of contacts, I continue to buy and offer extraordinary works at unbeatable prices, but only online.
