19th C Oil on Panel Presumed Hudson River School Landscape in Birds Eye Maple Frame color spectrum There are eyes carved onJust a beauty of a painting, 19th c. Hudson River school I believe, and all the better for being executed on wood panel, which I think always lends oil paintings an extra radiance and sense of specialness. Perfectly presented in a birds eye maple frame, which I believe is quite likely original to it. All in excellent condition, depicting a quintessential tree framed view with sailboats at center and mountains in distance; lovely and very transportive.
