Five bidders battled it out over this rediscovered Monet landscape, shown publicly for the first time in 115 years at #SothebysParis. Today it achieved €6.5 million at The Paris Sales. ‘Les Îles de Port-Villez’ was revealed in full color for the first time since its creation at our Paris galleries. Painted a few weeks after Monet moved to Giverny in the spring of 1883, this canvas signals his discovery of the surroundings that shaped the last 40 years of his life and work.
