Maternal Love 1881, signed and dated lower right, G. Raggio / ROME. 81 Old English label on the back. The painting offered here features a setting similar to Raggio's work of the same name at the Quirinale Palace in Rome. The work at the Quirinale, an oil on canvas measuring 46.3 x 72.6 cm (see De Rosa, P. A. and Trastulli P. E., The Roman Countryside: One Hundred Unpublished Paintings between the End of the Eighteenth Century and the Early Twentieth Century, 1999, pp. 34-35), was first presented to art lovers and enthusiasts in 1890. This painting, dated 1881, may have represented an initial idea for the setting later developed in the canvas at the Quirinale. Oil on canvas mounted on cardboard, 24.5 x 31 cm - framed, 37 x 43 cm
