Old painting signed Pietro Scoppetta, oil on panel, 19th century.

Oil on panel. Signed at the bottom right. Pietro Scoppetta, a representative of Neapolitan painting from the late 19th century, was deeply influenced by Impressionism, as evidenced by this portrait, entirely focused on nuanced colours, in a range of browns and contrasts of light. The work is presented in a suitable and gilded early 20th-century frame.
