Such beautiful sights on the Blue Ridge!

My grandmother recently passed away and left me this painting by American impressionist Cullen Yates. All I know about it is that the painting was commissioned by my great grandfather and is the view of the Delaware River from behind his house. The painting itself is 30" by 26" not including the frame which is a Newcomb-Macklin Co. frame from New York according to a small tag on the back.
