The image is taken from one of four books illustrated by EH Shepard.
The illustration was sold by London auction house Sothebys, who also auctioned off a number of children’s books, including classic works of Beatrix Potter and Arthur Rackham.
Shepard was made an OBE in 1972 in recognition of his illustrations, and died on 24 March 1976, aged 96.
