Winter Alpine Landscape Oil Painting Signed Baptiste

This is an original landscape painting, likely an oil or acrylic on canvas, depicting a serene winter alpine scene. The composition features a prominent, gnarled deciduous tree in the right foreground and a pair of dark evergreens on the left, framing a distant, snow-capped mountain peak. A quiet body of water transitions through the center ground, reflecting the cool, muted palette of whites, grays, and hazy blues. The painting exhibits a wet-on-wet technique with textured impasto work particularly visible in the snow-covered banks and the highlights on the large tree trunk. A signature that reads 'Baptiste' is clearly visible in the lower right corner, a name often associated with mid-to-late 20th-century decorative landscape art influenced by the Hudson River School or Bob Ross style. The canvas appears to have frayed edges, suggesting it is currently unframed and may have been removed from a stretcher or was never professionally finished. Notable condition issues include significant foxing or surface staining across the sky and upper-left quadrant, as well as some minor paint loss along the perimeter. The atmosphere is hazy and atmospheric, achieving a sense of depth through soft transitions and a limited, wintry color scheme.
