What did Renoir have to do with his paintbrush to be able to paint when he got older?
Around 1898, if not before, Renoir suffered his first severe attack of rheumatoid arthritis. It forced him to spend the winter months in the south of France, in Provence, and to seek medical treatment in the summer months. During the next several years, he experienced bouts of illness and bouts of improved health. It was not long though before the rheumatoid arthritis became excruciatingly painful and gave him more trouble. His joints became deformed and his skin dried up.
In 1904, Renoir weighed only 105 pounds and was barely able to sit. By 1910 he could not even walk using crutches and became a prisoner in his wheelchair. His hands were completely deformed, like claws of a bird. A gauze bandage was used to prevent his fingernails from growing into the flesh. Renoir was unable to pick up a paintbrush at this point and it had to be wedged between his fingers. He continued to paint everyday unless an attack of arthritis forced him to lie on his bed where a wire construction protected his body from being touched by his bedclothes.

How much does on the terrace Renoir worth?
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1841-1919 Two Sisters on the Terrace
Answering a question about how much a work of art is worth is difficult to answer because the "value" is determined on how much a person is willing to offer and whether owner accepts the offer. So the answer could be $1.00 to $100million.
Bal au moulin de la Galette sold for $78million in 1990. If the owner chose to sell Bal au moulin, it could fetch more or less depending on how the wind blows on the day of the sale.
Two Sisters is owned by the Art Institute of Chicago. If they ever sold it, I have little doubt that it would be sold at auction and the sale would more than likely be over $100million

Often he painted multiple studies of the same subjects, from train stations and haystacks to the London skyline, the Rouen Cathedral and, most famously, water lilies - (Monet's Impressionistic paintings sold well and his financial success allowed him to purchase property in Giverny, where he built a large garden that became the subject of his seriesWater Lilies (1906-26). Monet's scenes have since become some of the most recognized paintings in the world. One of his lily paintings sold in 1998 for around $39 million)
