Long-lost Renoir piece returns to Baltimore museum

A woman points at details in Pierre-Auguste Renoir's painting "On the Shore of the Seine" after a news conference at the Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, Thursday, March 27, 2014, more than 60 years after it was stolen from the museum. The painting became the subject of a dramatic legal dispute after a Virginia woman claimed she bought it at a flea market for $7. A judge ultimately awarded ownership back to the Baltimore museum, and it is scheduled to go on public display March 30.
