A Claude Monet painting, dating back to 1905, is set to hit the Christie's auction block Wednesday and is expected to fetch between $30 and $50 million. Part of the French artist's water lily series, the "Nympheas" painting, which features green lily pads in a pool, will be offered at Christie's evening sale of Impressionist and modern art in New York. "Across the surface of the canvas, Monet works his blues and greens and pink colors to build up on the one hand a sense flatness and a tilted picture plane but on the other, a sense of warm recession and shadow play along the surface of the water," said Conor Jordan, a deputy chairman at Christie's, in a video clip about the piece. Jordan said these types of paintings "rarely appear in the marketplace." The painting is from the estate of Ethel Strong Allen.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
