Oil on canvas board painting of a stark mountain peak and trees, signed lower right "Oppler". The 12" by 16" piece, unframed, appears to be painted on a later-than-1920's board of American origin, which makes me hesitant about calling this a work by the German artist Ernst Oppler (1867-1929), and there is no evidence that he visited the United States. A work online signed Oppler on a similar canvas board is stamped with a New York supplier address, adding evidence that this is not a work painted in Germany by Ernst Oppler. It is nevertheless an attractive mountain landscape, which would benefit from a cleaning as there is considerable soiling, especially directly above the mountain's peak. At upper right there is an area of tiny pinholes.

What stands out about this painting is how it makes a small corner feel larger and more open.
