Haystack Near Giverny (1884) by Claude Monet

It was bought by Paul Durand-Ruel in 1906 and in spring 1907 he sold it on to Ivan Morozov. A letter from Durand-Ruel on 27 May 1907 confirms he received 10,000 francs from Morozov for that work and 40,000 francs for A Corner in the Garden at Montgeron - the former arrived in Moscow on 10 October that year.[1] His collection was seized by the state after the October Revolution - the painting was assigned to the State Museum of Modern Western Art until its closure in 1948, then moved to its present location.[2]
