Nobody, even experts from the major auction houses, would be able to draw any conclusion by simply looking at a photograph on screen, pretty obvious I think!
As Alan G has already stated, get them both professionally evaluated, but the chances of this one being a lost Renior is unlikely.

I don't think the painting is finished - it looks like a study that's been framed; I like it - it has movement, and subtlety, and the composition is good; and I'm sure it has a value. But Renoir? In the style of; in the school of - possibly. But I can't see even a hint of a Renoir signature, and the canvas doesn't look anything like old enough, even if the painting convinced (which it doesn't).
