The composition, loose brushwork, and emphasis on light and atmosphere are consistent with American Impressionist landscape painting from the early to mid 20th century. Areas of thicker paint application in the foreground suggest light impasto, adding texture and depth to the flowers and ground. While the artist is currently unidentified, the subject and style align closely with regional landscape traditions popular in Texas during this period.

The painting is presented in its original custom gilt wood frame supplied by the James Bute Company of Houston, a historic firm known for frames and artist materials from the late 19th through the 20th century. The ornate gold-leaf frame complements the warm tones of the landscape and adds period authenticity. A strong decorative example of American Impressionist landscape painting with regional character and original framing. See less
