Hand-titled "Costume di Carafa" with a caption "Provincia di Calabria nel Regno di Napoli" in black ink on lower margin at the center. Hand-signed on lower-right margin. Representing a woman dressed in typical costumes. Very good conditions except for some stains at the corners of the sheet and on the lower margin and some light ripples of paper at the corners of the sheet. Very beautiful and good quality watercolor both for the drawing and for the fineness of the colors. Michela De Vito born in Abruzzi. She worked in Naples and became a famous artist during the XIX century. She was maybe the daughter or sister of Camillo de Vito, a famous painter of guaches above all of views and scenes of everyday life. Sometimes she was mistaken for Michele de Vito. This is how De Rosa and Trastulli describe her: “A refined painter, very skilled when it came to drawings, she had the characteristic to make her subject more gentle, compared to her male collegues". This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity

issues arising from misattribution less
