After CLAUDE MONET (1840-1926) FrenchVenetian SceneOil on board, bears signature and dated 1914, indistinctly inscribed to verso, old label to verso inscribed Removed from Neville Court, St Johns Wood by direction of the executors, Lloyds Bank Limited, Samuel Tobias Cohn and Eric John Spanier Esq., framed. 59.5 x 48.5 cm. Note: The present owner was given this painting in April 2013 by an elderly friend who was relocating to France. She had been given it as a wedding present by her father-in-law over 40 years previously. Her father-in-law was a Polish art dealer who said she could choose any picture from his gallery, but strongly suggested that she choose this particular painting, hinting that there was something special about it. It is believed that he may have purchased the painting from the estate of Mrs Fanny Lemel nee Fischer, a wealthy Jewish family who were diamond merchants in South Africa at the time that Monet's brother was liquidating Monet's assets after his death to fund his safaris in the late 1920s/early 1930s. The Lemel's were a wealthy family in their own right, living in Regents Gate, London, where Mr Lemel was a wine merchant. The present owners have had the paint aged by Art Research, London and the age is consistent with the date on the painting, but that the signature was possibly added at a later date. CONDITION REPORTS: Generally good with expected wear, could do with a light clean, losses to frame.
