The painting "Jeune femme au puits" by Auguste Renoir has been the focus of a restitution request since 2025, submitted by the heirs of Edwige Zak, a Jewish gallery owner who was looted during World War II. The request was officially filed on July 23, 2025, and is currently under investigation. The painting was sold in March 1941, when Zak was identified as Jewish, and her gallery underwent a process known as Aryanization, which involved replacing Jewish owners with non-Jewish administrators under Nazi policy. After being resold multiple times, the painting was found in Germany after the war. It was later repatriated to France in 1949 and classified as MNR, or National Museum Recovery, a designation used for artworks potentially looted during the war. The painting entered the collection of the Musée d'Orsay and has been on loan to the Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer since 1995. The painting is considered to have been looted twice: once during the war and again in a recent burglary. The Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer was burglarized, and two paintings were stolen. Three days after the incident, the stolen works remain missing. One of these missing paintings is the same "Jeune femme au puits" that is now the subject of a restitution request. This is notable because it is the first known instance of an MNR-labeled painting being stolen, according to legal experts. Melina Wolman, a lawyer specializing in the restitution of looted art and representing Zak’s heirs, expressed concern over the situation. “To my knowledge, this is the first time a painting labeled MNR has been stolen. It is terrible because, ultimately, one has the feeling that it will never end,” she said. She added that the painting can be considered looted twice—once during the war and again in the recent theft. The Musée d'Orsay has filed a formal complaint about the burglary, adding to the complexity of the case. The ongoing investigation seeks to determine the painting’s current location and whether it can be returned to its rightful owners.
