The 8 July, the London house Christie´s will auction in a figure that would be around ten million euros "Head of a bear", one of the last drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.

“Then sell another da Vinci drawing, Horse and rider, in 2001, by 11 millions of dollars, which is still the world record for an artist drawing, Christie’s is proud to offer another work by possibly the best cartoonist in the world.. I have every reason to believe that we will achieve a new record in July for ‘Head of a Bear’, one of Leonardo's latest drawings expected to hit the market”, explicit Stijn Alsteens, of that auction house and reported in the newspaper El País de España.
