Original Mid-Century Signed Winter Landscape Oil Painting

This item is an original oil painting on canvas board, featuring a serene winter landscape. The composition focuses on a snow-covered riverbank with several birch or deciduous trees in the foreground, set against a vibrant sunset of oranges, yellows, and browns. The artist used a heavy impasto technique, visible in the thick application of white paint to represent snow on the ground and branches, creating a textured, three-dimensional effect. The work is signed in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'F. Lorentzen' or similar. The painting is housed in a substantial, multi-layered vintage wood frame with a dark mahogany-tone outer cove, a gilded inner lip, and a linen-wrapped fillet providing a traditional mid-century aesthetic. The frame measures approximately 12x14 inches externally. Overall condition shows minor age-related wear, including slight scuffing and finish loss on the bottom edge of the wooden frame and some yellowing or dust accumulation on the linen liner. The canvas itself appears stable with no visible cracking or loss to the paint layer. This piece likely dates from the 1960s to the 1980s, reflecting a popular decorative style of that era characterized by warm tones and rustic subject matter.
