The work Study for the head of Christ in 'The Shadow of Death' by William Holman Hunt was auctioned at Christies in London in June 2010. It achieved a price of GBP 49,250.00 (€ 59,892.58), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 64%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by William Holman Hunt achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Tuscan Girl Plaiting Straw in December 2013 with an auction result of GBP 3,330,500.00 (€ 4,006,074.97).
