This artwork by Wilhelm Lorenz achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in September 2012. In the 19th Century European Art Including Orientalist Art auction, the work Wild boars running in the forest sold for GBP 4,375.00 (€ 5,489.85) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 2,500.00.
