Framed Oil Painting of a Purple Highland Landscape

This item is an original oil painting on canvas board, depicting a rolling highland landscape dominated by a field of purple heather under a cloudy, overcast sky. The composition features a diagonal hillside sloping from the left mid-ground towards the lower right, rendered in varying shades of violet, magenta, and earthy brown. The sky is painted with horizontal, impressionistic brushstrokes using a palette of grey, white, and muted blues. The canvas texture is clearly visible through the paint layers, suggesting a thin application technique common in late 19th to early 20th-century plein air studies. It is housed in a carved wooden frame with a dark mahogany finish and an inner gilded cove edge. The gilding shows minor signs of aging with a slight dullness to the luster. Notable condition issues include minor frame abrasions on the lower right corner and a small white speck (possible paint loss or debris) on the right edge of the canvas. No signature is visible in the provided image, though one may be present under the frame's rabbet or on the reverse. The overall style suggests a British or Scottish school landscape from the circa 1920-1940 period.
