After Bloemaert, Lazarus

At Sadde in Dijon, they sell on 16 April 2015 a "Flemish School, 17th century" Lazarus, estimated at 200 to 300 Euro.

It is a copy after an engraving of a (lost) painting by Abraham Bloemaert. A better and larger painting after the same engraving was sold at Christie's in 2013 for £10,000. The current one is decorative and has art historical interest, but isn't worth much more than the estimate, perhaps some 800 Euro at the most. UPDATE: and it sold for 850 Euro :-)
