It's a copy of a thematic painting by a Hudson River School artists who worked in the 1840-1860 period. I don't know exactly who it's copying. but reminds me of Albert Bierstadt. This type of landscape appeals to me, and it is a very nice copy, but is in absolutely desperate need of a cleaning.

The frame is made in Mexico....not likely to be a good frame or very old. Your picture shows very little detail, so it's not possible to say for sure, there may have been good quality frames imported from Mexico, but because of what it says it's not older than 1921.
To me it looks like a parody of a Bierstadt painting. Is it actually an oil painting or is it printed on canvas-like paper with a texture on the surface made to look like oil?
Can you show a close up of the signature and of the back of the frame? Is the actual picture on stretched canvas or on canvas board?

Hey! Thank you both for your replies!

The painting is on canvas and you can actually see the thickness of the different colours. It is on stretched canvas.

Here are some more pictures I took:

My dad was also wondering if you knew the best way to clean it.

Thanks! (:

The frame says "Hecho en Mexico" (Made in Mexico). You can buy those frames in craft stores.

The picture is very typical of the "sofa art" that can be bought from various mall stores like "Off the Wall" ... great for room decor, but little artistic merit.

And the frame is cheaply made not neatly cut and put together with staples instead of glue. I also don't think it's an oil but a print of an oil treated to look like it has texture from oil paints. If it were an original oil you would see that the brush strokes actually had a relation to what they were painting.
Sorry, I also believe it's not "art" but a decorator item.....and I wouldn't try to clean it. Only very old ...VERY old oils need cleaning with anything more than af eather duster.

The thing with the staples is the stretcher, not the frame. It has a stretcher because it's canvas.
Now, they do mount prints to canvas, and it's hard to tell one from another by online photos, but don't make a snap judgement based on the staples in the stretcher.

This is what a canvas stretcher intended to be painted upon looks like

The picture with the staples shows a "stretcher" with a piece of canvas which has been printed with an image, which will them be "texturized" to make it look like an oil.

Well, does anybody know who W. Word is? Even if it is a print, my dad is looking for more information regarding the artist.

Thanks for all the responses and information!

I trying to fine out a painting that says Pierre with the some label on the back

HU delete your comment and start a completely new thread include a picture of the painting both front and back. There are thousands of Pierre's but the picture might provide some information.

I don't think the photo is clear enough to say whether it needs cleaning or not. And if this painting is a "factory" made product -- they would just put any old signature on it. It is still possibly a nice painting to live with.

An oil painting like yours appears in the link below. The painter is William Ward.

I would bet a lot that is not an "original oil on canvas"...not even getting a bid on ebay for $89
