The two canvases stolen from the Renoir Museum of Cagnes-sur-Mer remain unobtainable. One of them, "Young woman in the well", has been the subject of a request for restitution, since 2025, by the heirs by the heirs of a Jewish galleryist who had been plundered under the occupation.

The investigators of the judicial police are trying to trace the criminals who fled with two canvases, this Tuesday, September 8, 2026.

Cops arrived about five minutes after the alarm and recovered a painting, but the invaders escaped with three others, estimated at approximately R$ 53 million.
