Pink Cottage, Water, Big Tree - Super Soft and Atmospheric Old Oil on Canvas Painting to hang or rabid reader

or rabid reader

as is the bottom of the interior tray

and that it once had a handle for carrying that was attached to the sides

maybe in a little egg cup or old wooden goblet

and for someone like me who is not very good at winking

Pink Cottage, Water, Big Tree - Super Soft and Atmospheric Old Oil on Canvas Painting to hang or rabid readerSuch a wonderful softness to this one, feeling almost more as if stained than painted, with the effect of seeing as if having just coming into view after a lifting fog. All very transportive, like a serene corner of the world. 14" x 9" and in good antique condition, oil on canvas, late 19th early 20th century I would guess. One tiny tiny hole in the canvas, visible from the reverse but hard to detect at all from the front. Found in Maine.
