Can anyone please identify this painting by Raoul Dufy?
I have a painting by Raoul Dufy that I cannot identify by name. I have searched extensively to see if it was made into a print but no such luck. I included links below of the images. I am very curious about the background of this painting. Thank you to any and all who can help me find an answer ;-)

Well, Dufy is often faked, and one thing I can tell you is that the signature isn't right. The other problem is that while the work is sort of in Dufy's style, it is rather primitive, childish, and less sophisticated than his usual work.
So, I'm afraid that you do not own a genuine Dufy. However, to be sure, you should examine Fanny Guillon-LaFaille's catalogue raisonne of Dufy, which can be found in major scholarly libraries at universities with Art History departments. If you're still not convinced, then see a fine art appraiser.
