Spend a day at the beach with Monet in this remarkable portrait of his beloved wife Camille. It’s an early example of Impressionism that will star in The Modern & Contemporary Evening Auction at #SothebysLondon. Here, Sotheby’s Helena Newman speaks to the spontaneous spirit Monet captures in this vibrant canvas. If you look closely, you may even be able to see a few grains of sand embedded in the oil paint, transporting you back to the shores in Trouville. This fresh and immediate work offers a unique glimpse into Monet’s emerging vision that would transform the course of modern painting. ‘Camille assise sur la plage à Trouville’ will come to auction in The London Sales, presented in partnership with ritzcarltonyachtcollection, on 24 June.
