At Veritas, a Portuguese auction house, they sell on 29 April 2015 a "Dutch School of the 18th century" Piramus and Thisbe, estimated at 2,000 to 3,000 Euro.
It was previously sold at Alcala in October 2014 for 1,200 Euro, as 17th century Flemish School.
What neither auction house seems to have noted is that it is a copy of a work (but with a different landscape) by Jasper van der Lanen, an early 17th century Flemish artist: this work was for sale at Dorotheum in 2011, estimated at 4,000 to 6,000 Euro, but didn't sell. It may be that both go back to an even earlier work, but I could find no evidence for said work.
