Most Expensive Pierre-Auguste Renoir Paintings

$100-300 million

Effectively off‑market in a museum collection, its defensible hypothetical range ($100–300M) centers on a practical best‑guess near $150M+ for an ultra‑competitive institutional sale.

$140-180 million

As a canonical 1874 Impressionist shown in the first exhibition, its $140–180M estimate is anchored to top‑tier Renoir benchmarks and scarcity of comparable early Renoirs.

$120-170 million

Museum‑grade and globally recognized, Dance at Bougival’s $120–170M band is anchored to Renoir’s 1990 auction benchmark and comparable nine‑figure figural sales.

$100-150 million

If deaccessioned at a marquee evening sale with underwriting, Madame Georges Charpentier and Her Children could realize $100–150M given pristine condition and competitive institutional/UHNW interest.

$100-150 million

The Large Bathers’ $100–150M estimate reflects its unique status as Renoir’s definitive Ingresque statement and calibration to his $78.1M auction record.

$100-150 million

As a canonical 1883 ‘Dance’ canvas, its $100–150M estimate positions it above recent Renoir norms but below the artist’s inflation‑adjusted peak in optimal conditions.

$100-150 million

Bridging high Impressionist and late linear styles, The Umbrellas’ $100–150M estimate rests on its scale, rarity, and potential to surpass Renoir’s auction record under ideal conditions.

$100-150 million

A signature 1874 Loge from the first Impressionist exhibition, its $100–150M hypothetical value is driven by exceptional art‑historical importance and global name recognition.

$100-150 million

Effectively unsaleable under patrimony, the 1876 Bal du moulin de la Galette would nonetheless command a defensible hypothetical $100–150M if lawfully marketable.

$100–140 million

The Musée d’Orsay’s state‑commissioned Young Girls at the Piano is insured/valued hypothetically at $100–140M, reflecting canonical status and variant‑hierarchy considerations.

$90-130 million

The Swing’s $90–130M market estimate is anchored to the 1876 Moulin de la Galette auction precedent, with an indicative insurance replacement value of $160M.

$90–130 million

As a prime‑year icon in the National Gallery, Girl with a Watering Can’s $90–130M auction estimate contrasts with a higher $150M insurance replacement figure.

$80-120 million

Dance in the City’s $80–120M range applies a scarcity premium within the ‘Dance’ trio, using Renoir’s $78.1M record and recent prime figural results as anchors.

$55-90 million

The Skiff’s $55–90M valuation places this 1875 prime‑period boating scene just below Renoir’s trophy‑ceiling while reflecting high desirability for that subject and date.

$50-70 million

Madame Monet and Her Son’s $50–70M estimate reflects its 1874 date, Monet‑family sitter, and museum‑grade quality, yielding a premium over typical early‑period Renoirs.

$15-60 million

Although museum‑held and effectively off‑market, Two Sisters’ hypothetical $15–60M market range is supported by Durand‑Ruel→Coburn provenance and comparative recent sales.

$35-55 million

Pont Neuf’s $35–55M estimate reflects its rarity as an early‑1870s urban panorama by Renoir and adjustment from top‑tier Renoir auction benchmarks.

$35-55 million

Portrait of Jeanne Samary’s $35–55M valuation is anchored to prime‑period portrait comparables and its exhibition history at the 1877 Impressionist show.

$20-50 million

Assuming clean title, excellent condition and evening‑sale placement, Portrait of Mademoiselle Irène Cahen d'Anvers could command $20–50M; wartime provenance or technical/legal issues would materially reduce realizable price.

$25-45 million

In the Garden’s $25–45M insurance‑style estimate is based on its large scale, multi‑figure composition and benchmarking against recent top Renoir results in the $10–25M band.

$20-28 million

This exact painting sold at Christie’s New York on 12 May 2022 for $24,435,000, making $24–25M the clearest single‑point market reference within a $20–28M current band.

$0.5-25 million

Attribution uncertainty or a workshop variant could push value toward the $0.5M floor, while a securely authenticated, museum‑quality 1880s Blonde Bather might achieve up to $25M.

$18-24 million

After the Luncheon’s $18–24M estimate reflects its prime 1879 date, substantial scale, identifiable sitters, and long museum provenance suited to a marquee evening sale.

$3,000,000–$20,000,000

The canonical 1869 La Grenouillère in Stockholm is not market‑available, so the $3–20M range applies to comparable privately held works and hinges on attribution, provenance, condition, size, and exhibition history.

$10-16 million

Children on the Seashore, Guernsey’s $10–16M valuation is supported by its large 1883 Guernsey composition, MFA Boston provenance, and recent $10.41M comparables for prime figural works.

$9-14 million

The Piazza San Marco, Venice’s $9–14M range reflects strong demand for Renoir’s 1881 Italian series and pricing for similarly sized prime‑period oils.

$8-12 million

Still Life with Flowers’ $8–12M auction estimate is anchored by a close 2024 benchmark (Bouquet de lilas at $8.7M with fees) and the Guggenheim provenance.

$600,000 - $10,500,000

Seated Bather plausibly trades between $600K and $10.5M depending on date, size, quality and provenance, with small late examples clustering near $600K–$1M.

$4.5–8.5 million

Girls at the Seashore’s $4.5–8.5M estimate is anchored to a related 1890s coastal Renoir that sold for about $4.48M and recent $8–12M mid‑size results.

$2.5-4.5 million

The Barnes Foundation’s Vase of Flowers (c.1889) is valued at $2.5–4.5M based on tightly matched floral comparables, mature‑period dating, scale, and museum provenance.
