Oil Painting - Help identifying artist signature needed!

Profile picture for user barney23

Description

Found this oil painting at a Flea Market. Looks to be from around the 60's judging by frame style. Frame has "Made in Taiwan" stamp with what looks like the numbers/letters B3/613 size 12" > 16" on back. Canvas has the numbers 32774 stamped on back.

The painting looks like oil or acrylic and looks like it was kept in an attic for a long period. The attached photos make it look cleaner than it actually is. Looks as if it was near an oil furnace or coal. However, it should clean nicely.

Frame is ornate with just a few chips. It's also dirty too.

I've tried to identify the artist but have difficulty reading signature. Looks like R elams, Rolans, Ralans or R Como. Could be something totally different I can't read.

Can anyone identify?

Mainly looking to see who the artist is but would like to know if it has any value.
