    German painting from the late 19th century

    Hi, I’m from Russia and I recently purchased a large painting, 90 cm by 60 cm, probably from the late 19th century. There’s an inscription in German behind the painting, but it’s hard for me to decipher it, and my camera won’t pick up the text so I can translate it. Could anyone translate what’s written there?

    Thanks

      I feel like that this isn’t of much value. It’s just “cheap” decorations.

      At times, where neither prints nor photography was really common, artists sold those pittoresque paintings to earn a small living and people that you can consider as middle class were able to buy those pictures for their homes

      The second line seems to read “Nach der Natur gemalt von [painter’s name]”. Painted after nature by….
