Late 19th century American amateur oil painting on canvas. Undeciphered signature in the lower right corner. Probably an East Coast painter.

The artwork is elegantly presented in a luxurious gold gilt frame, enhancing its visual appeal and making it a perfect addition to any sophisticated decor. Ideal for nature enthusiasts or art collectors, this piece serves as a striking focal point in any room.

The canvas surface has an early application of shellac that has caused an interesting texture to form and probably dates this application to at least the first decade of the 20th century. The painting features a gallery label from the Hoddick Fine Art gallery of Buffalo, NY, whose gallery was active during the 1870-80s.

Condition commensurate with age. Plaster losses along the high points of the gilt frame edges (can be overpainted, restored or left as is). Minor nicks and dings to the frame corners. less
