I'm assuming that because he painted china as a boy, several years before his professional career and his fame, no one had kept track of which pieces of china were painted by him. If someone were to find a piece and prove it was Renoir-done, I'm sure the piece would be of significant value. Jeff: I did some searching around, but wasn’t able to find anything.

I'm fascinated by the history of paintings and all the hidden symbols and meanings. Please keep at it, Andrea! And one request -- Please consider researching Degas and his ballerina paintings. He obviously went to ballet schools to observe the girls. Did anything...*interesting* happen while he was there? These posts are great!
