We have an antique painting which we can't identifty. There's nothing on the back, sides or bottom of the picture. There are some initials on the bottom right corner. The last three initials are MAX. It begins with what looks like an E. The E might be over a T but we aren't sure.

Can anyone provide us with some direction on how to identify the artist & picture.

Thank you in advance for your response.
