I have a painting I inherited from my grandparents that I have seen reproduced elsewhere by seemingly other artists, with some variations. The scene depicts a number of rabbis/scholars around a table in a Beis Medrash arguing over some text. I'll post an example below.
This has intrigued me for some time. Does anyone know the original source of this painting? Who the original artist was? What the background of this painting is?

The painting is called Eine Streitfrage aus dem Talmud (A Talmudic Dispute) by Carl Schleicher. It was painted sometime during the 19th Century in Germany. Here are some other works by him. I could not find much about him on English webpages, but here is a Wikipedia article in Spanish.

Thank you Ezra. I'm wondering if that rendering is the original piece or a reproduction. I've edited my question to show two variants of the same theme. My question is whose is the original?
