Does anybody recognize this location on Winnipesaukee?

I believe that is a painting of a scene from Coe Hill looking toward the Ossipee mountains. Aaron Smiths field and homes by the water. Center Harbor Village is just out of the picture.
The artist took some liberties with the shape of the mountains but I've seen an identical painting with the subjects and different shape of the mountains

Here is a screen shot of the view from Coe Hill on Google Earth. That is the shallowest angle I could get for a tilt.

Is this roughly the view you have seen in other paintings? Thank you.

As I read all the ideas about the vantage point location and its view, I notice almost all of the land, except for a few small areas, are heavily forested.

I would think that in the period from the early to late 1800s, a great deal of the land would have been clear cut, devoid of trees, with much of the land either used for farming or pasture land, mainly for sheep. Think hiking in the woods now and finding stone walls nowhere near today's roadways.

While this "might" be somewhere around Winnipesaukee, I do agree with others that the artist utilized a great deal of artistic license, especially with the forests.
