Alongside a series of Monet portraits currently showcased in the gallery, she wrote: "Introducing the first in my new series showcasing my love of art. As some of you may know, I am a huge lover of art and a director at @hauserwirth — throughout 2025, I hope to share more of that part of my world with you.
"Starting with Monet and London: views of the Thames at the @courtauld Gallery. Monet was fascinated by the light and smog of London as it became an industrial city at the turn of the 20th century.

The update came days after it was announced that Eugenie would be making an appearance in My National Gallery, London, a documentary to celebrate 200 years of bringing people and paintings together.
The royal will appear alongside Claudia Winkleman, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, and Jacqueline Wilson.According to MailOnline, in the documentary, Eugenie revealed that she had "always wanted to be an artist" when she was a child.
She said: "I did art at school; I always wanted to be an artist.
"I remember going to the National Gallery and just sitting and drawing, and now when I go around a gallery, I see all the young people doing that, and I'm like, 'I used to do that.'
"I wish I could find my drawings from those moments when I was a student, right in the front, studying and looking and learning all about history and art." The programme will air on ITV and ITVX on 30 December.
