How to research an old oil painting?

I have an oil painting passed down two generations now and I want to find out more about it. It is an oil painting of a sad clown signed h. lazarus and my grandparents had it hanging in their home. That's about all I know about it. I'm pretty sure a relative or friend didn't paint it but I have no idea where it came from. It looks like an original.How to research an old oil painting?
Hi. I know that some ';sad clown'; paintings are collectible. To really find out if you have a valuable one, and what its history is, you probably need to get it appraised. A local museum may have a list of reliable appraisers. But you will have to pay for the appraisal.
