Inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1993, Peter Dalla Riva exhibited the sure hands that made him one of the league's greatest tight ends. We have a wonderful original painting of the Italian-born star by noted artist Tex Coulter. Wearing the green Alouettes uniform of the early-1970s in this life-like original 21 1/2" x 27 1/2" painting, Hamilton-raised Dalla Riva became a Montreal institution as he made huge contributions to the team's three Grey Cup titles in the 1970s. This incredible vintage work is mounted in a 28" x 34" faded gold-painted wood frame, and it remains in beautiful condition, with just a few tiny blemishes. The artist's trademark "Tex" signature appears in the bottom right. Originally presented to Dalla Riva himself, this one-of-a-kind portrait comes with his signed letter of authenticity.
