Miracle for Prospero Lavarello

Watercolor on paper, cm 35x45     (inventory Costa n. 15)
 

Known data:

   TYPE:                                   barge
   CAPTAIN:                           Prospero Lavarello

Caption:

"Offer by Master Prospero Lavarello for a miracle happened on the 8th of July 1850, in the vicinities of Barletta"

Notes:

    Single spot of color in the painting is the blue flag of the Reign of Sardinia that interrupts the rigorous tawny uniformity. 

    Perhaps other colors had in origin the figure of the Virgin, of which today unfortunately nearly only the design remain if the blue touch of the veil is excluded.
