Can't read the signature on watercolor looks like an older French Scene

It isn't in a frame. Bought at a thrift shop quite a while ago. I can't read the signature Salbeau Sulbeau is as close as I can come. I'm thinking 1885 due to the clothes they are wearing. Any help is always appreciated. Sight size is 18" by 16 "

 

My opinion: "older French scene", yes. Made in 1885, no. Looks like the signature was done with a gel pen, so I'd say 1985.

 

I see "Sabeau." Looks like a little souvenir drawing so I'm not sure artist would be traceable.

Thank you both. So the signature could not be painted with watercolors, only a gel pen looks like that? I do not know, just asking.

 

I think someone like Claude tabet works

Place de Furstenberg. A popular scene. Even Dalí painted.

looks like marker and watercolor.....so 1985

claude tabet.....that's nice...



this one may be a fan of his work.....

 

You are saying, not Claude Tabet but an artist who copies him, correct? Whoever does a great job of copying the watercolor. Thank you. I know I am less than even remedial in this, but learning. There is progress. Thank you.

 

not so much a copy.....as your artist has his own style of work.....
one made in spring, the other in fall, but from the same vantage point ...
both have their own separate charm...........

 

Not a copy but a work inspired by -- or shall we say overly inspired? -- by the work of another artist.

I marvel that the painting can be so well done and the signature is, well, as bad as my own handwriting, but I can't paint either! Thank you again.

 

we've seen worse siggys...........
