Paul Chabas - September Morn painting

Description

This is a painting of a young naked girl standing in a lake. The artist won a first place prize for this painting in Paris in 1913. After that, there was a scandal and lawsuit regarding the indecency of this painting which made this painting popular and many reproductions were sold. As a result, this painting made the artist famous. Reproductions are still being made today. I am curious as to whether early reproductions are valuable.
