Description:

Anyone know who the artist of this painting is? I'm guessing it was just a local small time artist. I cannot seem to find any information anywhere on the internet. I love the painting and would love to find other pieces by this artist. The signature looks like it says Pereri or Peteri, but I cannot tell for sure. Thanks

I had a gut feeling when I saw that sig.. It could be Peier. The painting also looks kinda studenty.. which also looks like the style maybe from The Academy of Painting in Rome? So looking around I found this, http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ZlwMAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA184&lpg=PA184&dq=peier+painting&source=web&ots=y1sf3eQbqg&sig=eJo9nxWRhy1Yio_JEl4XRCL6e9c&hl=en#PPA184,M1 Could be a possible link? Also looking at other artist from the academy for around that era may well help in your search too. Good luck!.. lovely painting you have there. Hawk
