Default Please help me identify this painting

I bought it at a yard sale from a family who found it in the attic. Please provide any information you can share about it.

P.S. I paid $1 for it.

It's well worth the price. :-)

Seriously, if that's an original painting it's quite good. Is that a signature at the lower left?

There is no signature anywhere on the piece. It is an original oil painting on canvas, and the paint appears to be as old as the subject's period in it. I'm guessing late 1800's early 1900's. I'm an artist, mostly cartoons, comics, and anime inking but not an expert on art history. I want to start collecting and learning more, though.
