      Steptoe1, Interesting.

      Google Lens found a couple of near-twins:

      *snip*

      Caroline Burnett

      A Parisian scene depicting the Seine and the Notre Dame

      oil on board

      Painting

      30cm x 39cm, 40cm x 49cm overall

      Signed

      This one has a more evocative title:

      *snip*

      CAROLINE BURNETT. Flaneurs along the Seine, oil on canvas, signed Burnett.

      In case you don't know what a "flaneur" is:

      The two paintings found by Google Lens are not actual twins of yours, nor are they twins to one another.

      About artist Caroline C. Burnett and forgeries of her works:

      *snip*

      Burnett’s work; due to its loose, fluid, and impressionist elements, does lend itself to copying by other artists that similarly want to benefit from the tourism industry. Imitations of Burnett’s works have come from other artists in Paris, as well as other European areas, and have even been created and signed “Burnett” in the lower right by artists in Mexico. There are rumors of sweat shops in Mexico creating Burnett reproductions en masse to capitalize on the nostalgic nature of the paintings to audiences that simply wouldn’t know any better once the painting has been listed for sale. Photos of signatures are attached, showing an interesting range of signatures with different styles, leans, and thicknesses. It’s noted that Caroline Burnett (the actual artist) always signed in print, in capital letters in red-brown paint, and in the lower right.

      Regardless, Burnett has the unique privilege of being one of the most forged midcentury impressionist painters.

      Probably all three painting are forgeries, because none of the signatures are in red-brown paint. They're still nice-looking. :-)

      Merry Christmas kera yes I remember that name now you said it. Great information about her thanks a lot I will have a look. I didn’t think she was famous enough for so many people to go to the trouble of forgery, I don’t know about paintings just picked up stuff I liked and was dirt cheap, would be a bonus if they are real
