So, you just got this? Very cool. I would probably have chosen a less "busy" frame for it... maybe something in a cherry... something to match the Credenza. 
At the Barnes in Philadelphia for a birthday trip into town. They said I could pick just one to take home.
Yeh... definitely dump that frame. It just makes it look... old.
Bet they’re smoking cheap RYO tobacco - probably Gambler or worse.
I associate Cezanne most strongly with the quite large still life paintings with slightly cubist fruit, playing with the shape, the light, and perspective. I haunted the Chicago Art Institute as a teen, and those paintings really claimed the territory, although they had a lot of competition. They had some large paintings, and they chose not to put them too close together, which was their wealth of space and ample funding being expressed.
As a college freshman at U of I at Navy Pier (in those days) I had an English I assignment to discuss a Toulouse Lautrec painting I'd been looking at for several years of weekend visits. First, the instructor wasn't sure I'd written it, and when I explained how I came to be so conversant, she assigned me to advanced placement English the next semester, which I'd never attained in high school. I felt vindicated.
I don't remember the figurative paintings of Cezanne at all, so thank you for this! cosmic' is right; they need a different frame.

Dan, I’m so sorry you had to settle for the Cezanne. I got there a few hours earlier when they still had a couple of Coolidges left:
Just a day with the daughter. Wander around, visit the few old haunts leftfrom my years in Center city, some food shopping at Reading terminal then off the Chinatown for dinner. Best part is time with Eve.
