I bought this lovely print/lithograph at a thrift store in Michigan, USA. From the handwriting at the bottom, it appears to be a scene from Ostergaard (Østergård) but I can’t decipher the artist’s name. Does anyone have any information about it? Thank you in advance!

Anything? Sure! I think it looks cozy
It says [Østergaardskov](https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98sterg%C3%A5rdskov), which is this forest, formerly in Denmark but now located in Germany (Østergaard/Østergård is a pretty common placename in Denmark, but there is only one Østergaardskov).
The signature says Peter as the first name, possible Madsen or Mathiesen as the surname. Don’t know who it is. There is a Danish painter named A.P. (Anders Peter) Madsen 1822-1911, but this seems to be a bit later than his lifetime.
The artist is Peder Møller
It’s a copy. I have the originals. DM me for more info
