Oil painting on canvas, depicting a rural scene; attributable to Michele Graneri (1708-1778). His subjects primarily describe news events and the daily life of Turin of the time, with armed guards, clothing of the rich or popular classes, buildings, signs, fruit and vegetable sellers, and various trades. Among his early works are 'Rissa' (Brawl), 'Ciarlatano con saltimbanchi' (Quack with acrobats), 'Venditrice di cacio' (Cheese seller), and 'Venditore di salsicce e carni' (Sausage and meat seller), exhibited in the Accorsi-Ometto museum in Turin.
The painting has already been relined in the past, but would still need cleaning.
