"Follower of Bouts" is copy after Van Overbeke

Roland, auction house from New York, sells a "Follower of Dirk Bouts" Pieta, estimated at $10,000 to $15,000.

It's a very nice painting, but the origin doesn't seem to be Bouts. Bouts made similar but in the end clearly different paintings, like the above one I found on the RKD of a painting from the Naples Museum, which is supposedly by a Naples painter after Bouts.

I found two other versions of the painting for sale (one better, one hard to be sure due to the black and white photograph). The first one is said at the RKD to be by a "Follower of Rogier Van der Weyden", but apart from a very general Netherlandish feel I don't see a lot of Van der Weyden in it. It is kept in Bergamo, in the Pinacoteca Carrara.

But the most interesting and comparable one is a painting attributed to Adriaen van Overbeke, a little-known Antwerp painter active around 1505-1520, one of the very first Antwerp Mannerist painters. This work is from the National Museum of Warsaw, Poland (the left one is the one for sale, the one on the right is by Van Overbeke). The one at auction is obviously the same composition as the Bergamo and Warsaw ones, with changes in the background.

Looking at it in detail, it is clear that the one for sale is less detailed and less well painted, but it is still a very interesting work by a little-known painter. The estimate seems about right, but the attribution could be better... UPDATE: not sold
