Chalk pastel on paper. Featuring Impressionist style drawing of a pond and water lilies. Signed and attr. Claude Monet (French 1840-1926). Signature on lower left corner. 7.9 x 10.6 inch (20 x 27 cm). Claude Monet was the leader of the French Impressionist movement, literally giving the movement its name. As an inspirational talent and personality, he was crucial in bringing its adherents together. Interested in painting in the open air and capturing natural light, Monet would later bring the technique to one of its most famous pinnacles with his series paintings, in which his observations of the same subject, viewed at various times of the day, were captured in numerous sequences of paintings.
