Neapolitan view

Graceful unusual color sketch, a sketch of a Neapolitan view that the well-known Abruzzese artist drew on a small sheet attached to his own business card addressed to a correspondent friend (from Puglia?), a drawing that had probably been requested by the Vaccarella collectors from Puglia, and that the artist sent, jokingly noting on the business card that the gift would have deserved as a sign of thanks... some scamorza from Puglia!

Drawing in colored pencils or mixed media, on a small notebook sheet, measuring approximately cm...; with Michetti's business card attached.
