The origin of Fabrizio Salani's "AG" monagram
#16
My feeling is that the seal postdates Renoir, in which case you are correct that we'd be looking at a 20th/21st century copy. 

But there are still ways out of it: maybe someone decided to take an ancient parchment with an ancient Voynich copy on it, fold it in half to use it as a binder for other documents and put their seal on it. (Although the analysis of the pigments might rule out this scenario - I've heard conflicting takes on this).

One could also hypothesize that the "Renoir+" design predates Renoir, but I haven't seen any good evidence that this should be the case. At least not by any amount of time that would significantly change the narrative
