'Rare rediscoveries': Two Monet paintings unseen for a century to be auctioned in France

Two rare works by French Impressionist Claude Monet will be auctioned this week at Sotheby’s. The paintings, “Îles de Port-Villez” from 1883 and “Vétheuil, effet du matin” from 1901, highlight Monet’s obsession with the River Seine in Paris and until recently were only known through photographs.
