    Might be a Paris street scene by Burnett.

    I read the signature as Burslem.

    I can see BUR-ETT, there’s a large amount of Burnetts around and the painting looks similar in style etc

    Think they're all factory paintings.

    Here is an entire website on the research on e has done on your artist, which shows your very painting at the top of the page.

    The same scene has been signed, clearly at times, with J Burnett, W Burnett, H Burnett etc....

    Possibly a family of artists mass-producing the same pieces for sale, or simply mass-produced paintings made and signed with simply 'a name' to be signed, allotting a surname to various design types being sold.

    before the burnout syndrome there was a Burnett syndrome that made people dislocate to Paris and paint over and over again the same Montmartre - Sacré Coeur - Place du Tertre scenes.
    it was lateron declared as "obsessional neurosis" widely spread in the USA in families where the father fought in France against the temptations of Montmartre and Bois de Boulogne and against "un petit dedans-dehors" which was lateron included in Clockwork Orange.

    I see Burslen. Think a factory painting so it really doesn't matter.
