An oil on canvas by E. Schnell, circa 1930, depicting the Matterhorn rising sharp and snowbound above the chalets of Zermatt, the autumn hillsides rendered in warm ochre against the cool blue sky. The painter balances the mountain's drama with the intimate cluster of rooftops below, capturing the Alpine landscape at its most iconic. The work is presented in a rustic wood frame that suits the subject. Mountain pictures of this vintage bring instant atmosphere to a study, ski house, or gallery wall, and this one pairs naturally with the other Alpine views in the collection. It holds a wall confidently. Condition is good, with wear consistent with age.
