Send a photo of the painting to the appropriate Embassy and they will forward it to the country of origin. You should receive a response from the museum of the country that the knows who the painter is and how much is is worth in their currency.

I have done this with a painting of King Oscar of Sweden and Norway and sent the photo to the Palace. They sent the photo to experts and told me who painted it, although it was signed. I could not read the signature, but the museum knew who painted it and when.

This message board will not help you. You must investigate by contacting museums and the country of origin to find out what the artwork you have. You can also send good photos to both Christie's auction house as well as Sotheblys. They can help you further.
