Prodigal Son?

Description

This original oil painting is an intriguing work of art which depicts 2 prominent male figures perhaps related and a mother with her baby. Can the theme and time period that this piece was created be determined so an appropriate value eventually be reached?

History
Enclosed by a wooden frame that was added in 1970 by the person that donated it to my church, this huge oil painting is unsigned. Supposedly, the theme is a depiction of the return of the Prodigal Son in the Spanish School of Painting, however, it does not bear any resemblance to the classical depictions. The painting was originally purchased in the early 1960's at an upstate New York art gallery and I am curious as to your opinion as to age and value.
