Question I have a painting by this artist which my father was given by a university back in the 1950's. It is about 29X24. It is a Paris street scene with a notation in the left hand corner "eglise saint Pierre" with other wording under that. In your opinion, could this be an original. I am aware many copy his work. Thank you for your help.
