Moonlit Landscape with Teepees and River Painting

This item is an oil painting depicting a moonlit landscape scene, housed within a decorative wooden frame. The painting features a dark, nocturnal setting with a prominent full or nearly full moon peeking through heavy, atmospheric clouds in the upper center. Below the moon, a dense forest of dark green trees covers a hillside, rendered with visible brushstrokes creating texture. In the foreground, a river or stream flows from right to left, reflecting a faint reddish-orange glow, possibly from a distant campfire, though no fire is directly visible. Along the bank of the river, several white teepees are arranged in a row, suggesting a Native American encampment. To the right of the river, a single, bare tree with thin, gnarled branches stands out against the dark background. The overall color palette is dominated by dark greens, blues, greys, and blacks, with highlights of white and yellow for the moon and clouds, and the reddish-orange for the river reflection. The painting style appears to be representational with a somewhat impasto application of paint, particularly in the clouds and foreground foliage. The frame is a multi-layered design, featuring an inner beige or light-colored wood layer with a beveled edge, followed by a dark green or olive green spacer, and an outermost gold-toned or light brown wooden frame with a textured, possibly carved or molded, pattern. The condition of the painting itself is difficult to ascertain fully from the image, but no obvious tears, punctures, or significant paint loss are visible. The frame appears to be in good condition with minor wear consistent with its age, but without any specific damage being clearly discernible. Based on the style and framing, the painting likely dates from the mid-20th century, possibly 1950s-1970s, making it a vintage piece. The craftsmanship of the painting focuses on atmospheric effect and narrative suggestion, rather than fine detail.
