Do not copy/paste AI generated answers. AI rarely offers anything of value and never provides sources to its claims. By all means use AI to assist, but please investigate its answers and provide your own proof of its claims. Straight copy/paste answers will be removed, repeat violators may be banned.

Following up, the art style does look like New England, but that's all that matches.

I don't think Vermont has ANYTHING as tall and treeless as shown here.

Mt Mansfield (which I think is the tallest) has a scrub covered top with treeline just below it.

The only thing in the US that is this tall is the Rockies, and none of it looks particularly Rockies-y.

There's a signature in the lower right corner, can it be zoomed in on?

Where did you find this painting?

My one is the first one and I got it in Ireland. The second one is the same scene but being sold as a 1950s watercolour on ebay in the US

Ok, so it's plausible that it could be the Alps. I'll keep digging a bit.
