This painting really turns out to be The Missing Link!!

 

See and study how we reveal the sensational fact that Garden-Scene in fact is signed! Twice! Try to understand the unbelievable fact that we have found a closed 'archaeological' treasury hidden under the frame since 1899.

 

See how all the the paintings have been treated - once taken down from their stretchers and then piled together.

 

When Suzanne Hoschéde and Alfred Sisley died in 1899, the paintings were saved from destruction.

 

Look at all comparisons with other paintings by Monet and see how all the three paintings fit like "hand in glove" in many, many different ways.
