Info Meules (Haystacks). The most expensive of the famous Haystacks series of paintings by French Impressionist painter Claude Monet. Sold at Sotheby's for $110.7 millions on May 14, 2019. Currently in private collection. created by Claude Monet - uploaded by StellarHalo - nominated by StellarHalo -- StellarHalo (talk) 08:06, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
Important info: This version actually has a thin bottom part cropped out (most likely the fault of Sotheby's). I also uploaded another smaller version that has that part but crops out the right side instead. I am nominating this version because it is larger and the crop is less destructive.

- It still does not explain why this but not any of the other thirty versions (many of those have a good quality too). Have you thought about a set? --Andrei (talk) 08:33, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Well, out of the handful that qualify for FP on technical basis alone, I believe this version's lighting best conveys the spirit of the series. Would cherrypicking the best ones for nomination qualify as a set? StellarHalo (talk) 13:05, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Unfortunately not, there needs to be a coherent message, and preferable for paintings the reproductions should be done by one person/company because we expect a set to be consistent in quality. But cherry-picking a few to nominate individually is fine. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:12, 15 October 2020 (UTC)

- Support per KoH, unfortunately for the set it would have to be all-or-nothing, but this painting is great and really conveys a lot about the overall style. Cmao20 (talk) 06:44, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support per Cmao20. --Aristeas (talk) 09:06, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Oppose I don't think it's really right to award a star to an incomplete reproduction. I think that's below the standard of excellence we should demand for reproductions of flat artworks. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:40, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- This view is entirely fair. Though keep in mind that the few available reproductions of this Haystack version each has a small part cropped out, most likely due to the fact that it has always been in private hands. StellarHalo (talk) 11:21, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
Comment Understood. Regardless of the outcome of this nomination, if this is the best available reproduction, it should be nominated at COM:VIC. Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:35, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 16:58, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
