Here are some Claude Monet signed letters we have sold in the past:
Claude Monet autograph letter signed, dated 21 June 1907, mentioning his intention to see an exhibition of Paul Cezanne’s work, likely the first posthumous retrospective at the Salon d’Automne in 1907. Upon his ”Giverny near Vernon, Eure” letterhead, and written in Monet’s characteristic purple ink, letter translates in full,
”Dear Sir, I am quite upset that I was unable to take advantage of your good thought, but I was away (which I rarely am) and I was unaware of your your [sic] letter until my return, but I will not deprive myself of the pleasure of coming to see your Cezanne exhibition.
With all my thanks for thinking of me, please believe in my sincere sympathies / Claude Monet”.
Two page letter measures 5.25” x 8”, on different leaves of bifolium, card-style stationery. Stamp of previous owner, otherwise near fine condition. Sold for $3,750.
Claude Monet autograph letter signed to an early and important buyer of his art, Georges de Bellio. In this very poignant letter dated 5 April 1878, Monet asks de Bellio for money in order to pay for his wife’s prescriptions. At this time, Monet was painting some of his most important impressionist works, and is the same year that de Bellio bought Monet’s ”Impression, rising sun” at auction, but before Monet found commercial success. Two page letter on card-style stationery measures 5.25” x 8.25”. Separation starting along folds and a bit of worming at top of first page, not affecting writing. Accompanied by original envelope hand-addressed by Monet, with both the letter and envelope stamped by the previous owner, Dr. Max Thoren. Very good condition. Sold for $3,750.

Claude Monet Autograph Letter Signed
Oscar-Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was a French painter and founder of impressionist painting who is seen as a key precursor to modernism, especially in his attempts to paint nature as he perceived it. During his long career, he was the most consistent and prolific practitioner of impressionism’s philosophy of expressing one’s perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein air (outdoor) landscape painting. The term “Impressionism” is derived from the title of his painting Impression, soleil levant, exhibited in 1874 in the first Salon des Refusés (“exhibition of rejects”) initiated by Monet and his associates as an alternative to the Salon.
