The signature appears to be a symbol of some sort !! Could be the artists initials in some form !! Tried looking up the name on the frame and found nothing which is not surprising !! Not even sure if its a proper name,, !! I too think it is from the Scandanavian countries !! However the artist is likely self taught and not a professional !! Picture looks more cartoon like than painted as one who has to make a living this way would do the same scene !! A person who needs to make money with art would use his proper name !! That is his best advertising so you want people to know who you are !! I would call this a folk art style painting,, likely from a person that paints for his own pleasure, a hobbyist, and from around mid 1900`s !! I like it myself !! Its a unique piece !!
