Pastels on cardboard. Signed lower right.
The Neapolitan painter Vincenzo Caprile, trained artistically at the School of Fine Arts in Naples, also had the opportunity to approach the School of Resina, an Italian pictorial movement developed in the wake of realism and similar to the Macchiaioli movement, where he was able to experiment with the rendering of landscape and nature from life.
Although he also established himself in portrait painting, becoming the official portraitist of the Savoy, Caprile always preferred landscape painting and portraits of popular figures.
His production is characterized by an agile brushstroke, a bright and tender color, capable of delicate nuances, well interpreted also through the pastel technique, as seen in this delicate female nude, a less recurring subject for him but which shows well his ability to render light and color.
The work is presented in a late 19th century frame.
