This 19th c. painting has some indecipherable
writing on the stretcher, ending in NY. Does the place look at all
familiar to anyone? The artist may have added the mountains in the
distance because s(he) thought it was a good idea. The sail boats and
little steam paddlewheeler are sitting on the water, not in it. The
river or lake is glassy, but the sails are full. The chimney on the right
seems to rise right out of the trees. The picture could have been
copied from a print and then the boats added.
