Prometheus Antiques has dated this piece to the 1900s.
The painting is typical of Alpine work of the period with a soft colour palette and emphasis on the majesty of the mountain, that dwarf the figures in the foreground. The work is signed to the lower right 'E.Grossen' which was a pseudonym of the artist. The work is titled on the reverse: The Rosenlaui glacier, Schreckhorner, Welterhorn. The painting is in excellent condition having been professionally cleaned. Please note the photos do show some light reflection on the texture of the oil painting, it is not anything on the painting. The frame is the original and of elaborate design, it is in great untouched condition. The whole is an excellent example of this type of Alpine artwork. C.1900.
Overall sizes in inches, including frame: 19 1/4 by 16 1/4
