Well, if it helps at all the painting is The Old Barns by Dirk Baksteen. Every page about it is in Dutch, and it was painted in 1961. So that narrows down time and place a little. Someone with expertise in that area may be able to help, or at least read dutch.

I just looked him up on Oxford Art Online, which doesn't have much other than the barest biographical details. Apparently his preferred medium was etching, which is I think what you have here, though the photograph is blurry, so I can't be sure. It might also be a watercolor, perhaps. It definitely is not a painting.

Oxford Art Online also talks about how Baksteen was a friend and follower of Jacob Smits, who some research tells me was associated with the Molse School, a group of landscape painters working in the Belgian municipality Mol. They were primarily Dutch and Belgian, but Germans and Americans appear also to have been involved. This school was influenced by the Barbizon school, an earlier French movement which sought to evoke the simple rusticity of rural peasant life (perhaps the most famous Barbizon painter today is Jean Francois Millet). These half-ruined cottages accomplish the same thing, serving as a nostalgic ode to a simpler life.

Finally, in case you're interested, according to OAO, in 1995 one of Baksteen's etchings of a cottage sold for 28,000 BEF, which might translate to a few thousand Euro today, if the market held. Then again, there are a couple of his etchings listed on ebay for buy it now prices of a couple hundred bucks, so maybe not. From your picture it's hard to tell if the etching is "real," but the paper looks legit. You might take it to a local art auction house for further information, if you're looking to sell.
