One of Claude Monet's most notable paintings has been sold at auction for more than STG19 million ($A31.5 million).

The artwork, named Le Palais Contarini, fetched the highest price for a painting of Venice by the artist.

He produced the work in the autumn of 1908 while he and his wife spent three months in the Italian city.

It was sold on Wednesday at the Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art sale in London.

Earlier in the sale Piet Mondrian's 1927 Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue was sold for STG9,266,500 ($A15.38 million).
