The recovery concerns two Renoir paintings: Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano (1910) and Jeune fille au puits (1886). Their combined value was reported as $10.5 million. The story sits within the wider subject of stolen artworks being recovered, though the available material does not say where, when, or how the paintings were taken or returned.
