Hello, just wanting to see if anyone has an idea what this might be? I have googled the image and down lost of searches but no information. I have found very similar paintings with monogram close but not exact. The ones that are similar just say 19th century painting. I am curious if this was a common picture to paint? It looks like it is signed EHW. I appreciate any suggestions or help. Thank you!
