The oil-on-canvas painting measures 26 by 34 centimetres (10 in × 13 in).[1] The painting hung in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum of Boston, Massachusetts, United States prior to its theft in 1990 and it has not yet been recovered.[2] A $10 million reward is offered for the return of Chez Tortoni and the other stolen items.[1]
