Allegory - antique Neapolitan oil painting on canvas

This important eighteenth-century painting is to be referred to the exquisite production of the Neapolitan school of the first half of the eighteenth century. The splendid workmanship and the refined colouring, evidently of the highest level, in fact suggest the attribution to a very talented author working in Naples in the first half of the eighteenth century. The scene takes place entirely in the foreground, where we notice a woman with bare breasts irradiated by the scorching sun and surrounded by seasonal fruits. To his left, a child with a joyful face carries a bunch of ears of corn on his shoulders. The painting is in excellent condition.
