dr simpkin's opinion that it is aCezanne

The emission spectra of both the green pigment and the orange pigments in painting are very similar to those found in the Brooklyn Cézanne."

dr Monyota's opinion that it is a Cezanne

the elemental composition of the painting matches the composition of the pigments used during the period 1839-1906, and therefore there are no pigment anachronisms.

dr andersen's opinion that it is not a Cezanne

there is an underpainting and Cezanne has never done one
composed of Cadmium Yellow Lithopone which wasn't widely used until 1927, and yet Cézanne had died some 20 years earlier.
both IR refractography and transmission spectra indicate that this might not be a Cézanne at all.

dr Pruschy opinion that it is not a Cezanne painting

this painting shows an absorbance of 0.6, suggesting that it is not likely to be a hundred years old
UV spectrum of incident light showed a substantial absorption from a polyene present in the paint material.

dr Mardin's finding

fine structure of the brushwork is indistinguishable from other paintings
from late 1880s and it is a Cezanne painting
similar to a Cézanne at the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania same visual elements

may not be a Cezanne because a French caricature concluded that no other painting were likely and it was bought by the infamous Josef berg
