Star drawing from world’s largest private Rembrandt collection could bring $15m at auction

Over the past two decades, the billionaire entrepreneur Thomas S. Kaplan and his wife Daphne Recanati Kaplan collected around 220 works of 17th-century Dutch art that they call the Leiden Collection.

Now they are ready to part with one of their earliest acquisitions: Rembrandt’s life-like drawing Young Lion Resting (around 1638-42). Today (3 November) Sotheby’s announced that the work will be offered at an auction during its Old Masters sales in New York on 4 February 2026, with a pre-sale estimate of $15m to $20m.

Young Lion Resting is the “the best Rembrandt drawing to come on the market in a long time”, says Gregory Rubenstein, Sotheby's worldwide head of Old Master drawings. He says the drawing, which he believes was drawn from life, could attract both private and institutional buyers, including everyone from collectors interested in Rembrandt to those enthralled by “the immediacy of the image”.
