A Rembrandt drawing of a lion could approach a record sum for a work on paper when it is expected to come up for auction next year. Thomas Kaplan, an American collector of Dutch 17th-century art, plans to use the proceeds to help fund the conservation of “big cats”.

“Wildlife conservation is the one passion I have which surpasses Rembrandt—and I want to attract more people to that cause”, Kaplan says.

Young Lion Resting (1638-42) has just gone on display in an exhibition of Kaplan’s collection at Amsterdam’s H’ART Museum. Formerly known as the Hermitage Amsterdam, the museum severed links with the St Petersburg institution after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and it is independent.

Kaplan’s show, From Rembrandt to Vermeer: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection, runs until 24 August. His collection is named after the city of Rembrandt’s birth.

When The Art Newspaper asked Kaplan whether the sale of his Rembrandt drawing might fetch over $10m, he immediately responded, “multiples of tens”. Sellers obviously have a motive to talk up values, but in this case the money would all go to charity, which could encourage buyers. The most expensive work on paper ever sold at auction was Raphael’s Head of a Young Apostle (around 1519), which went for £29.7m (then $48m) at Sotheby’s in 2012.
