What does this mean?

This is an antique, late 19th to early 20th century, framed oil on canvas painting of a winter landscape showing evergreen trees with snow covered ground along a creek or river. The painting is signed at lower left and appears to be E or C. Cutler. Checking against all known listed artists with the last name Culter, there is not a distinctive style nor signature match. This *could* possibly be by Elda Durham Cutler (1864-1944) who painted in Oregon, California and Illinois. However this is not a definitive authentication, just a potential attribution. The estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail 'asking prices' can be higher and vary.

What is the size of the painting and please add more images of the signature from different angles, best to do so in natural lighting.

25 1/2" wide by 19 1/2" in height.
