Lot 141 Property from the family of Claude Monet
« The furniture was extremely basic: large table, numerous wicker chairs and on the couch, on a pillow, a white cat, (sort of unpolished terra cotta) sleeping snugging. Many years later, I found this exact same cat again, always lying on a pillow at Michel Monet’s house in the Blondeaux, at Sorel.”
