Need to see the entire back labeling that is on it !!   What is the size,, not including frame ?? What is it painted on ?? Paper, canvas, or panel and what is the location !!

I haven't a clue as to the picture but the signature appears (to these old, tired eyes) H. Breitmann. But maybe not.

It might be Heino Breilmann. The artwork looks similar:

You know how it is when you look at an item so long and you can`t figure it out but there is something wrong !! And the more you look it still doesn`t come to you !! Then all of a sudden its like a flash and there it is !! I have been looking at the back of this painting and trying to make out the words before the name !! The word I was looking at blown up I couldnt make out but just now looking at the smaller pic it hit me that the word (I think) is "original" !!
I was looking for info on his work and found a forum where another person was asking about him !! One of the members was Heino Breilmans grandaughter !! I have sent an email and waiting for an answer !! Hopefully this will give info on his work and possible values !!
