Signed Impressionistic River Landscape Oil Painting

This is an original oil painting on canvas or board, executed in an impressionistic or late naturalistic style, depicting a serene river landscape. The composition features a foreground of rocky banks and a flowing blue river, transitioning to a mid-ground filled with lush, deciduous trees displaying autumnal yellow and green foliage. Distant blue-grey mountains sit under a soft, cloudy sky rendered with gestural brushstrokes. The artist utilizes impasto techniques, particularly in the foliage and clouds, to create texture and depth. A cursive signature, appearing to read 'N. Westbrook' or similar, is located in the bottom right corner. The color palette is dominated by earthy tones: ochre, moss green, and cool blues. The work is housed in a traditional carved wooden frame with a metallic gold or bronze finish, showing minor surface wear and scuffing consistent with age. This piece likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century. The brushwork suggests a confident, practiced hand, focusing on light and atmospheric perspective. No significant craquelure or paint loss is immediately visible in the provided image, though some surface dust and aged varnish may be present.
