Dalia Kamar
Dr. Anderson Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)
Animal glue binder
Underdrawing
IR to detect anomalies beneth paint
Dr. Pruschy UV Spectrum
Not likely Cezanne
Polyene absorbance didn't match
Showed substaintial absorption from polyene
Art Historians view
Based on size, no signature, composition, brushwork
Dr. Marden concluded they agree
Dr. Montoya X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)
Colors and composition matched
XRF data matches timeperiod
Elemental composition of colors
Dr. Simpkins Luminescence images
Contradicted UV data of Dr. Pruschy
fluorescence matched Cexanne
fluorescence using UV excitation from mercury lamp
No clear conclusion reached
Edgar Collins find painting
Taken to be examined by Spectrotech
Possibly Cézanne
