Description:
This vintage original oil painting on board is signed "Schmid" in the lower register. It depicts an alpine cottage within a meadow, with snow-capped mountains in the background, typical of scenes from the German or Austrian Alps. Similar works often have inscriptions on the back indicating the location is Garmisch and sometimes a title like "Berghof Mit Zugspitze". The painting is in a realist or romantic style popular around the mid-20th century (circa 1960s). The paint has a textured quality, and the artwork is presented in an ornate gilt wood frame typical of the period.
