Vintage offers amateur oil painting of an autumn landscape

This autumnal painting will have you dreaming of apple picking and jumping in the leaves! It was painted by a hobbyist oil painter who had a remarkable talent for light and shadow. The sky is also nicely done with little white puffs. Three figures are walking in the distance down the wide lane. There's a bit of drip damage near the bottom right-hand corner and some yellowing to the sky area. Also some very minor chips to the paint. It's signed by L. Knieriemen '54 in the lower left corner. Measures 23x19"; ready to offers hang.
