This is an enchanting and quaint Pre - Civil War Antique Old 19th c. American Folk Art Winter Landscape Oil Painting on canvas, depicting a charming and idyllic rural winter landscape scene. A father and his son carry firewood across a wooden bridge, while a woman stands halfway across to greet them. Below them is a frigid river, and in the distance, snow-covered pine trees, and snowcapped hills can be seen. Across the bridge, a small log cabin is visible, along with several figures standing in the threshold of the front door. Signed and dated: "K.H. Mc D. 1863" in the lower left corner. I could not find any information on this artist, but perhaps you know more about them or their work? Approximately 16 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches (including frame.) Actual artwork is approximately 12 x 14 inches. Very good condition for 150+ years of age, with a few small tears, pinholes, and minor paint loss to the canvas (please see photos.) Additionally, there is moderate scuffing, edge wear, and material loss to the antique frame. Acquired in Los Angeles County, California. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer.
