  • This painting was exhibited in 1957 at The Royal Academy as part of an exhibition of the works of Sir Gerald Kelly. The catalogue entry read:-

    Copy of the landscape by Claude Monet (now in the collection of HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother), made in September 1938

    Monet's version was painted in 1889 and was acquired by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother from Galerie Wildenstein on 20th September 1945 for £1,800.
