Those extremely steep mountains makes me think of China topography.

The types of boats on the water is an origin "signature" also.

Could be the Alps, too. The boats do not look very Chinese to me. Is there a steamboat in the background?

If that's a steamboat "smoking" in the background, ...... then 

How about a Norwegian Fjord? Like so.

Gerspee is in the Netherlands so that would be more likely than China !!

There's a good chance this is by Ove Julius Larsen, a Danish artist who painted on canvas but was also an artist at the famous Bing & Grondahl.

You should contact Auktionshaus Von Zengen at  info@zengen.de   
They sold one just a couple of months ago.

I'm very confident it's the same artist - the signature is the same, brush strokes and subject matter are similar.

Now that was some fine “teamwork” in sleuthing out the “landscape” location and name of the artist.

Cheers to all for a task well done.
