Mid-20th-century Italian painting, view of a port

An Italian painting from the mid-20th century. This oil-on-canvas work—on its original canvas—depicts a harbor scene with ships and figures, executed in an antique style with a high level of painterly skill. It is a 20th-century copy that faithfully reproduces the 1641 original by Salvator Rosa, titled *Marina del porto* (Harbor Seascape), currently held in the Palatine Gallery in Florence. The painting is presented in a beautifully decorated, carved, and gilded (bronze-toned) wooden frame. It is a piece of substantial size and striking visual impact, well-suited for various settings within a home, such as a living room or a study. The painting has undergone minor conservative restoration, including a patch on the reverse (see photo) and small, localized touch-ups to the paint. There is a signature in the lower-right corner that is difficult to decipher (see photo) and is currently under investigation. Overall, the painting is in good condition. Internal dimensions H 88 W 108 cm.
