This artwork by Stanislas Lepri achieved an unexpectedly high price at Sothebys in New York in November 2019. In the The Sleep of Reason Part II | A Private Collection of Surrealist Art Online auction, the work La Strega (The Witch) sold for USD 22,500.00 (€ 20,419.28) - well above the upper estimate of USD 9,000.00. Despite this good result, it is not the highest hammer price for an artwork by Stanislas Lepri; that achieved among the auctions we observed the lot L'homme au visage craquelé sold at auction in May last year with the realized price of GBP 20,160.00 (€ 23,716.32).
