Thorn, American, 20th century, canvas weave visible through the thinner passages\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a hand-painted original oil, not a print, with raised impasto ridges you can see and feel across the mountain and water. The painting is documented: a 1999 professional appraisal of the family collection it comes from lists it as \"Mountain Lake\" by J.C. Thorn, American, circa 1940, oil on canvas, 18 x 24 in, in very good condition. We have found no auction record for the painter, so it is priced as a documented, well-executed regional landscape rather than on a name. The strongly lit sunset composition and the ornate gilt frame make it a straightforward piece to hang as-is in a living room, cabin, or lodge-style space.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VaultXL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64723587334515,"sku":"VXL-00500","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/6283\/3779\/files\/4825b02c-a783-41a6-8208-8260023ac4fd.png?v=1790181345","url":"https:\/\/vaultxlshop.com\/products\/alpine-lake-sunset-impasto-oil-painting-signed-thorn-in-ornate-gilt-frame","provider":"VaultXL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
