Hello, this item is an antique engraving titled Maison de Campagne des Environs de Naples (Country House in the Surroundings of Naples), created after a work by the prominent 18th-century French landscape painter Claude-Joseph Vernet. The inscription “Gravé d’après J. Vernet” confirms it is a reproductive print, likely commissioned in the late 18th or early 19th century, possibly copperplate or aquatint. The print also bears the mark of “fait executer par la Veuve Daullé,” referencing the widow of Jean Daullé, a major figure in French engraving. The scene, typical of the Grand Tour era, romanticizes the Italian coastline with boats, human figures, and a classical villa perched on a dramatic cliff.

The print itself measures approximately 12 by 18.5 inches and is housed in what appears to be an antique wood frame with gilt and beaded detailing, measuring 17 5/8 by 24 inches. The condition shows age-appropriate signs like foxing and light surface wear. While it is not an original work by Vernet, such engravings were highly collectible and are still appreciated for their documentary and decorative value.
