When a painting Claude Monet made of the grain mill at Limetz-Villez on the River Epte near his residence at Giverny in 1888 went on sale at Sotheby’s late last year, it had a high estimate of $18 million and sold for $25.6 million, with fees. Now its sister painting, Moulin De Limetz, which the artist likely worked on concurrently, is set to go on the block as a leading highlight of Christie’s 20th Century Evening Sale this May in New York with a high estimate of $25 million.
