Hello

I recently purchased this painting from an Antique shop.
It portrays a wintry day in the countryside, the signature looks like J. Masken, although
I could be wrong,

Does anyone have any information on the artist, when the picture was painted and the nationality of the artist.

I have other images on this link, if anyone can offer and advice on identification of the signatures, it will be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Lee
