A powerful social realist scene showing a multitude of responsibilities of a farming family. The words Renzo, Al Capo Cantonier and Sig. Vezzano appear on the reverse but have been struck through. Provenance: private collection, Pittsburgh, PA, brought over from Italy in the 1950s. We were not able to find any additional info on an artist named P. Venturini.
