Capri. - View from the north with the Marina Grande, the Solaro and rich sailing ship staff. Gouache on cardboard. Illustration 42.5 x 64 cm. Passepartout under glass in gilded wood profile strip 67,5 x 89,5 cm. Italy around 1840. Shortly before sunrise, the magical island swims in the Tyrrhenian Sea. While three small fishing boats and five larger white sailors travel their way in the Gulf of Naples, from the east, that is to say from Porto the Napoli, a large three-master with a golden gallion figure and a bloating flag, heads towards the port of Marina Grande on the northern shore of the city, over which - already illuminated by the morning light, the rugged Monte Solaro rises. – Hardly any signs of usage, hardly any spots. Magnificent, very nuanced gouache in bright and fresh colours. Not framed, shipping only without frame.
