Mystical Marriage from Antwerp

At John McInnis, auctioneer in Massachusetts, they sell a 18th/19th century Italian School "Jesus putting ring on finger", estimated at $2,000 to $3,000.

It is a "Mystical Marriage of Saint Catherine", apparently an early copy after an original from the Antwerp School (reminds me of compositions by Jordaens or Van Dyck). I wasn't able to find an original for this, nor a name for the copyist, but it is a nice composition and an interesting example of the Antwerp Baroque School of painting. Probably not worth more than the estimate, but worth a better description and situation. UPDATE: sold for $1,000.
