This is a  23 inches by 17 1/2" picture with moses on the bottom right

Found what I think is your picture using 'Grandma Moses artwork' as the search term, but the art website it took me to is totally user unfriendly so couldn't find an info on it.

This has some history in case you haven`t read it !!  You didn`t say what the name of your print is so couldn`t look it up !! Prices for her prints run from $35. up !! Price will depend on the rarity of yours !!  Just google "Grandma Moses Prints" and you can find a bunch !! Some on ebay too !!

thank you mart-I am unable to see the name of this print as it's professionally framed-is there a name you saw on this print when you looked?  I looked on ebay and this one just isn't shown as much as "The Sugaring" one for sure

Hope I remember correctly,, Title of your print is "Out for the Christmas Trees" or something very close to that wording. It was used on an ad for Old Gold cigarettes !! Live auctioneers had one for sale in 2010 with a $50. start price and $100. to $300. estimate !! Of course you have to consider the economy now as far as pricing !! Still it is not one of the most common prints !!

thanks esp to mart for coming up with its name and history--I read about the old gold cigarette but didnt put it together with this one.

My mom picked it up at the salvation army store, she loved christmas/winter pictures and I in turn love this picture she gave me.
