Copy after Rubens, Crucifixion

At Babuino, Italy, they sell on 18 May 2015 a "Flemish painter, 17th century" crucifixion, oil on copper, estimated at 1,000 to 1,500 Euro.

It is a copy after Rubens, not an original work. As explained at the sale of a much better copy at Lempertz in 2012, Rubens only made an oil sketch, and the finished (but changed) work was made by Van Dyck. The one for sale should be worth the estimate, perhaps a bit more.
