19th C Oil on Panel Presumed Hudson River School Landscape in Birds Eye Maple Frame color spectrum it feels as if it

it feels as if it contains the wisdom of the universe in the spiral of its shell

Its mane is chipped along the edge (visible from certain angles) as well

and it took me all of two seconds to purchase this one from a seller in England when I saw it

who found it and many other carvings at a sale in Newburyport

All this allows the box to close up super tight

19th C Oil on Panel Presumed Hudson River School Landscape in Birds Eye Maple Frame color spectrum it feels as if itJust a beauty of a painting, 19th c. Hudson River school I believe, and all the better for being executed on wood panel, which I think always lends oil paintings an extra radiance and sense of specialness. Perfectly presented in a birds eye maple frame, which I believe is quite likely original to it. All in excellent condition, depicting a quintessential tree framed view with sailboats at center and mountains in distance; lovely and very transportive.
