This artwork by Jan Štursa achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in London in June 2011. In the The Hascoe Family Collection: Important Czech Art auction, the work Czech man Playing Ninera (Hráč Na Niněru) sold for GBP 11,250.00 (€ 12,446.03) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 4,500.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Jan Štursa - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Czech messalina, which sold at auction in June 2011 for GBP 27,500.00 (€ 30,423.64).
