This lot consists of an framed pastel illustration on canvas, done in the shimmering, Impressionistic style of Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926). "Monet" is hand painted at lower right. Awash in tones of jewel and earth, this elegant image depicts a vignette of water lilies. Colors mingle and merge to create a dynamic, lifelike scene. Done in the vibrant style for which Claude Monet is so very well beloved. A gorgeous highlight to any collection. Overall dimensions approximately 19.25" x 15".

Claude Monet (1840-1926) was a French painter, founding member of the Impressionist art movement, and a master of capturing light and movement within the medium of painting. Monet was not only influenced by Japanese design sensibilities, but he held a deep-rooted artistic philosophy about expressing one's perceptions of nature as clearly and directly as possible. His work perfectly exemplifies this doctrine, with a lightness and a charm that can only be associated with the artist himself.
