Francesco De Mura Italian Copper Painting 18th Century Saint John The Baptist

This painting is from the 18th century, it was executed with great finesse and precision. The partially erased signature is difficult to decipher, perhaps Francesco de Mura, but I could not confirm this. It is a plate made of copper, metal or zinc. Francesco de Mura (born in 1696 in Naples in Campania - died in 1782) is an 18th-century Italian painter in the Rococo style who was active mainly in Naples and Turin. We report wear and friction, scratches, lack of paint in places, traces of humidity, stains on the back. Note that the bottom of the plate is slightly deformed.
