Does anyone know anything about the this artist

Italian seen Santa Lucia port Naples

 

I doubt this to be "tourist art" because the artist was meticulous with line structure. This was not slapped out fast in tourist style. I cannot read what is written in script beneath. Is it a pastel? Or paint?

Not to sound insulting, I love the frame more than the contents, but that is probably because I don't recognize the wood. How large is this?

Can anyone please help to identify what wood is this? Possibly something native to Italy?

 

Looks like a maple burl veneer to me...

 

Can you tell if it's a print? It resembles this but I don't have an account there so can't view more info. Does yours have a signature?

A copy or a print. This is the weaker of the two images. (Notice how the figures' lack of shadow give them an other worldly appearance.)

Looks like a typical Neapolitan gouache.

 

The Mutual Art example is just that.

I thought that first too, but realized it's likely a different country maple than the wood I see in the southern united states.So then I thought "foreign wood - what is it?" thanks for your opinion.

It is a copy, not a print.

It could be

 

Had lots of 'em, they always paint the same scenes - often day and night Vesuvius erupting scenes

 

Hi the one you show doesn't have a signature ether only say the same as my Santa Lucia the same size they are not exactly the same or copy

 

The Mutual Art example is a bit different also not signed and I don't want to tear it apart to look for one there are hundreds 19th-century gauche painting similar scenes of napoli by different artist the majority not signed

 

Well, Debra tells us who painted the original if this a copy? a copy of who? is it a copy for the sake of it?

 

The linked work is attributed to 'Neapolitan School.'
'19th Century.' Yours appears to be identical but lacking some detail which might indicate it's a copy. Of course, it could also be a second version by someone who specialized in these scenes. The frame is quite nice which leads one to believe the work was valued by an owner at one time. But you really won't know what you have until you open it up.
