Oil on canvas. Signed at the bottom right. On the back ther is the label of the Art Gallery of Milan; title on the frame.

The painting offers a glimpse of a popular beach, with dry boats and animated by female figurines under an umbrella. Ben is part of the pictorial production of Vincenzo Caprile, the Neapolitan painter who, trained artistically at the School of Fine Arts in Naples, was able to also approach the School of Resin, Italian pictorial current developed in the wake of verismo and similar to the movement of the macchiaioli, where he could experience the rendering from the truth of the landscape and nature. Although he also established himself in the painting of portraits, becoming the official portraitist of the Savoy, Caprile always preferred landscape painting and portraits of popular figures: in particular he was the interpreter of his native city, Naples, which depicted views of the city and the countryside, the scenes of popular genre, the characteristic characters and especially the beautiful people. Through an agile brushstroke, a bright and tender color, capable of delicate nuances, well interpreted also through the pastel technique, Caprile established himself as a fashion painter with a wide production. The painting is presented in a contemporary frame.
