The 1873 oil on canvass by Claude Monet's 1873 oil painting, Le Pont du chemin de fer a Argenteuil, sold Tuesday at a New York Christie's auction for over £21 million. The price beat last year's record price for a Monet by more than 10 percent. The impressionist's painting features a railway bridge above a calm river with sailboats on the water.
