If she spells her last name that way in the signature, I say it's a forgery.

You can take the painting to a dealer or auction house to have it authenticated and valued, but if it is signed by Maria Callous it is a joke and probably not worth much.
If instead it is by Maria Callas the singer, it might be better to have an auction house value it than an art dealer.

I recommend taking it to an auction house, or an art gallery. Find someone, or somewhere, that specializes in oil paintings, and is familiar with the artist's work.

museum, gallery, or art department of your state's university, a curator or instructor worth their salt ought to know such things. (not some strip-mall art school. state college/university professor)
