Christie's sells on 20 May 2015 a "Follower of Jan Boeckhorst", "Woman reading", estimated at £3,000 to £5,000.
UPDATE: not sold, I believe.
It's a bit strange that they got the Boeckhorst bit right, but didn't mention that the painting is actually a copy of a work by Boeckhorst and Rubens together, from ca. 1635, now kept in the
Reiss-Engelhorn Museum (of which I had never heard until today) in Mannheim. It's a high quality copy, so probably worth the money or a bit more, but providing such relevant information is something one might expect from an auction house like Christie's.
