Apparently the Renouf is quite popular and there are a lot of copies: http://www.askart.com/AskART/artists/bulletin.aspx?searchtype=DISCUSS&artist=11064422
"The Helping Hand"
This painting used to be in the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington DC in the 2nd floor grand gallery - a room kept similar to the original use of the building as the Corcoran's Gallery's first building in the late 19th century. But the painting belonged to the Corcoran which sold it to a private collector in the 1990s due to a cash crunch, Many in Washington miss it.
The art museum in Honfleur France has several other paintings by Renouf.
I really like the third and fourth ones, especially the third, but I have no idea what they are.
