I think that this would be in the catalog raisonne if there was any sales history behind it. Your only hope is finding an un-illustrated listing, and that's no hope at all. You would need a ton of subsequent collaborative evidence to tie this to such a listing. To me, this work looks too thinly painted to be an original Renoir (you see too much of the canvas texture).
