Grandma Moses Style 'Hoosick Valley From My Window' Art Print

This item is a framed art print depicting a vibrant rural landscape, strongly reminiscent of the folk art style of Grandma Moses. The print features a panoramic view of the 'Hoosick Valley From My Window,' as indicated by the title plaque located below the image. The scene is characterized by rolling green hills, dotted with various trees in shades of dark and bright green, some with pinkish-red blossoms, suggesting springtime. A white picket fence runs along the bottom left, leading towards a small body of water. In the valley, several small white structures and a prominent red barn are visible, along with grazing white cattle. Distant blue mountains form the backdrop under a light blue sky. The print itself is rendered in a folk art style with flattened perspectives and simplified forms. A unique aspect is the apparent 'window view' framing, with dotted white patterns on the left and right edges and a horizontal bar at the top, giving the impression of looking through a window. The colors are generally bright and eye-catching. The print is housed under glass within a light-colored, possibly wooden, frame that shows signs of wear, including nicks and discoloration, particularly along the bottom edge. A pinkish-beige mat board surrounds the print, which also exhibits some minor spotting or discoloration. The overall condition of the frame and mat suggests age and handling, but the print itself appears relatively well-preserved, though reflections on the glass obscure some details.
