After Cezanne's Vue sur L'Estique

 

Komokwa: I did too. Architrave: Never saw the Cezanne, but recognized the color.

 

Isn't that a Signature on the bottom right?

Adding a reference pic that @architrave has identified:

 

Very nice! I would have bought it.

 

I would think that was done by someone trying to mimic Cézanne's approach to the painting. S/he appears to have copied Cézanne's brushwork, for instance. I'd think a more serious copy rather than a purely decorative one.

@bosko69, can you get a close-up of what looks to be a signature where Mikey pointed out Lower Right?? Not sure it's big enough to ever be clear, but MAYBE!!

 

Thanks for all the Feedback.I was a commercial book,wine label,etc artist /illustrator and I was quite impressed by this artist's copy.I'll have to get some better hi-res online images of Cezanne's orig & compare side by side-the ease,surety of the copy brushwork's quite impressive.
Here's the signature-1st pic, (just the tiniest squiggle,like a hair),and details of the brushwork...and $22 !
PS-Had it been done on aged tobacco-stained crackled canvas ,I would've been off into 'fantasy land'.

 

I cropped to just around the signature and tried enlarging....very LITTLE difference between 2X or 3X, but below is at 3X....and INVERTED....I think one can see a couple of letters, but probably not enough to identify....sorry.....no idea what the first darkest letters are slanting to the left but then sort of looks like "could" be 'ila' or 'ika' then a capital 'S' then 'g' or 'q' 'ue', then I'm lost!!! Looks like an 'a' further off to the right too....

Aquitaine-Great work and thanks.I'll try using my lady's much superior camera and see what kind of clarity is revealed.The artist deserves a little credit (hopefully never pursuing a career as a forger).
