The label tells us the title: “Winter Landscape.” It also tells us he is listed in Who Was Who in American Art.
But here’s the interesting part. It says “Oil on Canvas.” That is either a clerical error, meant to say “oil on panel,” or the family had the “painting on canvas” laid down on a panel. Tap on the back, and it’s easy to tell it is either backed by, or painted on, a panel. (It sounds like Masonite to me.) And no - I’m not going to disturb the paper just to find out something that shouldn’t make a difference anyway.
