Answer 1

I highly doubt it is a Gauguin...If it is, expect to not have to work for the rest of your life. But this is highly doubtful.

The paint is a good way to get a sense of how old the painting is. If there has not been any restoration, the paint should be cracked and yellowed. 93' is not very helpful, but during 1893, Impressionism was in full force, so this might also be a sign of it's age. To see if this is an Impressionism piece, look to see if there is thick dabs of paint, not carefully mixed, realistic blending; this is just one sign, though not every artist in the late 1800s were Impressionists.

The easiest way would be to take the painting to an art appraiser. They'll be able to tell you everything, but if this is not an available option, try looking up major periods in art history and see if your painting matches any of them.

Can you post a picture of it, with a closeup of the date. It would help determine the style, which would then determine a likely date.
