Claude Monet's "Nymphéas," painted between 1897-1899, is being auctioned at Christie's for the first time in 125 years, expected to reach $25-$35 million.
This masterpiece is one of the first works inspired by Monet's water-lily pond in Giverny, showcasing serene beauty with variations in color and detail.
The painting features an innovative composition, excluding the horizon line, focusing the viewer's attention on the pond's surface and the reflections of the water lilies.
Cristian Albu praised the auction debut of "Nymphéas," noting its rarity as one of Monet's remaining private works from the first Water Lilies series.
