| Description |  |
Measuring some six-and-one-half feet square, this is the largest of three variations of a composition (the others are in a private Swiss collection and in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) that Monet apparently developed (but never used) as a right-hand panel for of his sectional water lily murals destined for installation at the Orangerie in Paris.
In 1920, when the future disposition of Monet's famous mural ensemble was still unsettled, a delegation from The Art Institute of Chicago visited the painter, hoping to acquire it for this museum.
