Neapolitan School, 19th century- Vesuvius erupting; oil on canvas, 35 x 58 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK.
Held in a gilded composition frame. The canvas does not appear to have been relined and is held on the original stretcher. The painting has probably been cleaned at some stage as the paint is thin in areas. UV light inspection reveals extensive areas of retouching throughout, mostly to the right hand side of the picture.
