The painting is an appealing scene of a creekside snowy path that leads up to a grist mill surrounded by trees and a field. A red barrel sits in front of the mill and two birds are in the sky. The painting is signed M. Thompson and dated 1887 (?) in the bottom right corner. On the back of the painting, on the bottom stretcher bar, it is inscribed, "Old Mill Near Hergarmney". Research has not yielded any information on M. Thompson or the village of Hergarmney. The canvas is in the style of late 19th century British landscape painting, or perhaps this could be an American painting. From an Aspen, Colorado estate. 
The outer edge of the frame measures 27.5"H x 37.75"W x 1.75"D. The canvas measures 20"H x 30"W x 1"D. See less
