Numbers
Who is the Dealer behind these three Stocknumbers written on the stretchers?
WANTED: Information about
identical stocknumbers written on other items with documents
showing their provenance. There must have been atleast
454 other paintings with
similar stocknumbers! We have been in contact with the
Durand-Ruel family with negative result.

Exhibition Numbers
Exhibition Numbers painted in lilac colour on the stretchers.
WANTED:
Documents with information about other painted exhibition
numbers
painted in the same way on other
Monet paintings. Verified information which the exhibition
is and where it was held.
Information about similar painted exhibition numbers on
other impressionist's paintings is of course also of great
interest and might result in rewards as well!

Price
Figure
There must exist other paintings
where the price has been written in the same way in Old FFR
and US Dollars.
WANTED:
Documents and photos with information about the painting
with similar price-figure written by the same hand and
perhaps with customs stamps and info about the provenance,
dealer etc.
We are greatful for all
information about price-figures written in this way.
We do not know if there were
customs import regulations for paintings sent to exhibitions
in America. If so there must be lots of paintings with
similar price figures.

Exhibition Label
Which is the Gallery/Salon/Dealer
from whom this Label belongs?
WANTED:
Documents & photo that verify which is the provenance and
perhaps with exhibition catalogue.
N.B. This label probably matches
another painting OR this painting BUT then the first version
of the River Scene with the rose "Soir�e- light" - see the line
"Sujet traite:" on the label.

Mysterious Writings on the back of the Frames
"Creu" "Creuse" "P Moderne" "P M" or writings by the
same hand. We do not know what the meaning of these
words could be. We know that Claude Monet used
exhibition frames that had to be returned to Giverny if
the painting was sold. We also know that his collection
of frames still was at Giverny in 1975.
WANTED:
Information and photos about other paintings with frames
carrying the same kind of words,
written by the same hand. Please
remeber that paintings by Blanche Hosched�-Monet also could
have frames that might have these words written on them!
____________________________________________________________________________________
Measures of the paintings
written with pencil
All three canvases their
measures written with pencil by the same hand. We have
reason to believe that they were framed at the same time and
they certainly are framed by the same person in the same
characteristic way.
WANTED: Information
and photos about other paintings with measure figures
written on the canvas by
the same hand as on our canvases.
Please observe that the size figures of the Meadow-Scene is
covered
by the stretcher!
