A Claude Monet painting was auctioned Tuesday for more than $41 million, breaking the auction record for the French Impressionist artist.
"Le Pont du chemin de fer a Argenteuil" - a painting of a bridge with two trains passing over the Seine while pleasure boats float below - was sold at a Christie's sale for $41,481,000, said Rik Pike, a spokesman for the auction house.
The previous record for a Monet painting was $36.5 million for his 1904 "Nympheas," which was sold last year.
