Pink Cottage, Water, Big Tree - Super Soft and Atmospheric Old Oil on Canvas Painting wood grain Some wear to the covers

Some wear to the covers and binding

I have no idea how it came to be

and unusually and quite brilliantly hinged at the waist

5 3/8” x 6 1/2”

Not a great painting

Pink Cottage, Water, Big Tree - Super Soft and Atmospheric Old Oil on Canvas Painting wood grain Some wear to the coversSuch 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.
