Copy of Rubens

 At Shannon's, lot 87 of the sale of 23 April, is described as a "Flemish School", possibly early 17th century, estimated at $2,000 to $3,000.

It is a slightly reduced copy of a (relatively weak) Rubens depiction of the "Supper at Emmaus". Estimate seems about right, perhaps a tad high, for a decent old copy. UPDATE: wow, sold for $10,200! Either someone recognised the copiist, or someone thought they bought an original, not a copy.
