Vanderkindere in Brussels sells on 16 June 2015 an "Italian School, end of 17th century" Madonna with Child and John the Baptist, only 41 by 33 cm and estimated at 400 to 600 Euro.
It is a copy (or smaller version) of a painting by Carlo Cignani (1628-1719), of which another version at double the size was sold in Vienna in 2010 for 6,250 Euro. The one for sale now is actually pretty good, but in poor condition which makes it harder to judge its authenticity. The estimate seems relatively low anyway, as it is a decorative work.
UPDATE: sold for 1,100 Euro, nearly three times the estimate.
