Upper estimate price exceeded by 51 %.
The work Head of a Cat (Pennington 2109) by Wenceslaus Hollar was sold in the Old Master Prints including Property from the Collection of the Late Walter L. Strauss auction at Sothebys in London in December 2020. It achieved a price of GBP 6,048.00 (€ 6,756.16), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 51%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wenceslaus Hollar achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Old St. Paul'S Cathedral, London, Seen From The East in July 2010 with an auction result of GBP 75,650.00 (€ 90,960.60).
