Alex Cooper, from Maryland, sells on 27 June 2015 a "Contiental School, late 16th or early 17th century, probably Flemish" painting with the Raising of Lazarus, estimated at $1,000 to $2,000.
It is a reasonably well painted, somewhat simplified copy after a work by Marten de Vos. I haven't found the original, but the engraving by Johannes Galle is clear about it. As the painting for sale has the same orientation as the engraving, it is probable that it is based on an engraving of the painting and not on the original.
Another painting by De Vos, from the Liechtenstein collection, is closely related to this composition though.As usual, it shows the differences between an original and a run-of-the-mill copy quite easily.
The one for sale shouldn't fetch much more than the lower estimate probably.
