Claude Monet’s Nymphéas (fragment), c.1912 (oil on canvas), captures the beauty of water lilies drifting across a serene pond. This vibrant piece, part of Monet’s iconic series, marked a shift toward abstraction as the artist sought to convey the ever-changing essence of nature. The artwork sold for an impressive $6,270,000, far surpassing its original estimate of $700,000 — $1,000,000.
Monet’s passion for the water lilies at his Giverny garden shaped the final decades of his career, culminating in some of the most celebrated Impressionist works in history.

Le bassin d’Argenteuil
Le bassin d’Argenteuil will be offered for purchase at 0.033 ETH. This collectible will be available as a two hour open edition sale on OpenSea.io.
Claude Monet’s Le bassin d’Argenteuil, 1874 (oil on canvas) is a quintessential example of his Impressionist work during the Argenteuil period. Depicting boats on the shimmering Seine, the painting radiates modernity and captures the spirit of leisure that defined the era. Its bold brushstrokes and luminous color palette exemplify Monet’s revolutionary approach to plein-air painting.
The piece was sold for an impressive $27,840,000, far surpassing its estimate of $15,000,000 — $25,000,000, marking it as a significant highlight in Monet’s body of work and a landmark of 19th-century art.
