"Flemish School" is copy after Carlo Cignani

Jezequel, auction house in Rennes, France, sells on 22 June 2015 a "Flemish School of the 18th century" painting of Joseph and Potiphar's wife, a small scale (45 by 35 cm) work estimated at 800 to 1,200 Euro.

No idea whether the painter was Flemish or not, but the original is most likely by Carlo Cignani. Sotheby's sold in January 2014 a "Studio of Cignani" version of the same work, but much better painted and at 228 by 173 cm somewhat different in scale. It made $37,500. The one for sale now has about the right estimate, probably.
