antique original oil painting, Galena Illinois autumn cottage scene landscape dated 1903

Beautiful old oil painting dated 1903, painted in Galena Illinois. The picture is titled The Wayside Cottage.

The artist's name is also marked of the back of the stretchers, but we couldn't decipher it - it's Louella then something Holland Dutch we think - Lucheuauw ?

The gold gesso wood frame is period to the painting, and the entire piece measures 17 1/2" x 22" overall. Condition looks very good.

This piece has been in one family for its entire 100+ years, and was sold after the grandson of the original owner died without children.
