I am not an art connoisseur, but this piece of art looks to be an original. Then canvas seems old and brittle with some dimples and puckering, but I'm very intrigued by the reddish glow of this wintery landscape. It's like there's a fire just to the left of the scene, but there's not a human footprint to be found in the foreground. I just like it. Canvas is just hanging in the frame with a couple short pieces of metal strapping, so it's a little loose. Could use a wire on the back too.
