Oil on panel. Signed lower right "R. Scoppa".panel size: 30 × 18 cm - with frame: 36 × 24 cm.In the foreground, fishermen's boats moor at a landing stage bustling with figures.

Radames Raimondo Scoppa (Naples, 1877 - 1957) is one of the most endearing representatives of Neapolitan painting at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Active in Naples between the two centuries, he devoted himself mainly to seascapes and views of the Gulf, with a predilection for scenes of fishermen and the changing light of the bay. The painting is presented in a period gilded frame with fabric netting, in perfect harmony with the work.Please note: the panel has been overpainted in places, which should be taken into account when assessing its state of conservation.
