Unknown painter from this oil painting

[gerspee]

would like to know the artist off this old painting . So who is able to read the name for me ? And maybe some paintings to find from this artist ?   thanks

Can we see the back of the canvas ??

[cogar]

Those extremely steep mountains makes me think of China topography.

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

[Mat]

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

[cogar]

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

How about a Norwegian Fjord? Like so.

[Rauville]

I would agree with Cogar.

Yes, that sounds convincing!

[mart]

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.

Mmm,, I think you are right Ipcress !!  I had no clue !!

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

[gerspee]

Will contact them and maybe it is  Thanks  update; I looked at the sold painting as mentioned and downloaded the picture and the name looks in shape ( not easy to get it bigger with detail) the same so it must be by him as it looks . So me a lot happyer now 

[Ipcress]

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

[gerspee]

Thanks

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.
