Giulio Perissi (1915-1998), da J.R. Reid - Rival Grandfathers

Magnificent and imposing oil painting on period canvas, signed in the lower right by the Tuscan painter Giulio Perissi (active around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries).

The work is an excellent interpretation after one of the most celebrated masterpieces of British social realism: "Rival Grandfathers" (The Rival Grandfathers), originally painted by the Scottish master John Robertson Reid (1851–1926) and exhibited at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool.
