An “iconic work” by the impressionist master Claude Monet that has been in the same family for more than 70 years is expected to sell for at least £24m ($30m) next month.
Waterloo Bridge, Effet de Brume is one of 41 paintings by Monet of the bridge across the Thames. In terms of capturing light and atmosphere, this painting is “what he was striving for – it is a masterpiece of this body of work”, said Keith Gill, the head of impressionist and modern art at Christie’s in London, which is selling the work.
