Paul Cézanne's Artwork
Who found it?
Edgar Collins
If the underpainting is authentic
it is true, then it is not likely to be a Cézanne
if the drawing was fake or not
Dr.Simpkins
short-wave and long-wave UV
the pigments were made in the same studio and even by the same artist
Dr. Andersen
infrared spectroscopy (IR)
there is underdrawing, probably charcoal
the binder is based on an animal glue
might not be a Cézanne at all
Dr. Pruschy
the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum
a substantial absorption from a polyene present in the paint material
could be a 100 years old
Dr. Philip Marden 's findings
elements are different than his paintings of that period
similar to a Cézanne at the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania
the painting is unsigned
Dr. Montoya
x-ray fluorescence (XRF)
the painting is an original nineteenth century painting in agreement with the compositions of pigments available during Cézanne's time
the elemental composition of the painting matches the composition of the pigments used during the period 1839-1906
