About the piece

Painted by Léopold Robert in 1823, this luminous work captures two Neapolitan girls returning from a festival. They are depicted in richly colored traditional attire against a serene Mediterranean backdrop of blue water and distant mountains, embodying the romantic fascination with folk life and regional customs characteristic of 19th-century European art.
