National Gallery Monet’s Water-Lily Pond Derby Adjustable Folding Walking Stick
A founder of the French Impressionist movement, Claude Monet changed the way artists view landscape painting forever. One of his favourite motifs, the water lily pond at his house in Giverny, inspired the creation of a series of paintings that are as popular now as they were over a century ago. The National Gallery Monet’s Water-Lily Pond Derby Adjustable Folding Walking Stick allows the lover of art to always carry with them a small reminder of one of the world’s most recognised impressionist works.
