In 1996 the estimated worth was about 6 million US Dollars.

History
The painting was stolen in 1996 by an amateur Roma thief.[2] During the theft, it was badly damaged and was recovered in poor condition, requiring a year of restoration. After the Renoir was stolen, the entire foreign art collection was moved to the museum warehouse to protect the collection until a better security system could be installed.[3]
