Framed Oil Landscape Painting of a Forest Stream

This item is an original oil painting on canvas depicting a serene forest landscape. The composition features a flowing stream in the foreground, flanked by lush green mossy banks and a densely wooded area with tall evergreen and deciduous trees. A small, rustic wooden footbridge spans the stream in the middle ground, adding a human element to the natural scene. The color palette is dominated by deep forest greens, earthy browns, and highlights of white and pale yellow where light filters through the canopy. The painting style is representational with visible brushwork, characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century decorative art, possibly inspired by the Hudson River School or Bob Ross techniques. The painting is housed in a large, ornate gilded wooden frame with a classic tiered profile and an off-white linen liner. There appears to be a signature in the lower right corner, though it is not clearly legible from the image. The condition of the canvas appears stable, but there is visible chipping and wear on the gold finish of the bottom edge of the frame. The overall craftsmanship suggests it was produced for residential interior decoration, likely dating from the 1970s or 1980s.
