This beautiful painting on canvas is an original piece from the late 1800s, signed by the talented artist R.L. Costelle. The painting measures 9 inches in length and 13 inches in height, and features a stunning depiction of peace in Italy with figures that will inspire and captivate you. The painting is framed and features a one-of-a-kind design, making it a unique addition to any art collection. The production technique used is oil painting, and the style reflects a mix of Mexican, Realism, Art Nouveau, and Folk Art influences. The painting showcases the cultures and ethnicities of the time period produced, which is 1850-1899.  The priest is holding a rosary in his hand I feel that he is probably giving the girl who stands in the doorway a blessing. As you look at the frame you will notice that it is very old and handmade and the method for hanging it is very old wire. This is the type of painting that will tell people it is of substance.
