How can I find the value of an original artwork, painting by Claude Monet?

Answer 1

They are not for sale usually....that makes them even more expensive.

Still...

$20.1 million

"London, the Parliament, Effects of Sun in the Fog," painted in 1904, was expected to attract between $12million and $18 million. The painting depicts orange and red light piercing London's fog. It had been in the family of Monet's dealer, Paul Durand-Ruel, for 100 years, reports New York Daily News.

Answer 2

Ethos, Vincent van Gogh's work was Post-Impressionistic. Claude Monet's work was Impressionist. Monet's work was very "soft-focus", while van Gogh's work was a unique style no one has replicated, and more like he was "drawing with paint" as my figure drawing professor once said. Monet's work was about showing the light, while van Gogh's was about the subjects of his work. That's my own impressions about them, not anything from an art history text. What I see when I study the two of them, both of which vie for my favorite artist, is that Monet used a shorter, squarer, stroke in his work. Van Gogh used long streaks of paint to create his work.

Answer 3

It is doubtful that your painting is actually by Monet and is more likely to be a copy. If you send a photograph to the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, London WC2, someone will be able to tell you something about the original.

Answer 4

You will not know the value until you actually put it on the market for sale.

An auction firm that deals with paintings will be able to give you a rough idea.
