"Style of Flemish School ca. 1500" is a copy after Van der Weyden

Boisgirard, in Nice, sells a "In the style of the Flemish School, ca. 1500" Crucifixion, a small (26 by 18) painting in a Gothic frame, estimated at 600 to 1,000 Euro.

It is a copy after the central panel of Rogier Van der Weyden's "Crucifixion" from the Museum of Vienna. It looks like it is fairly recent (the last 200 years) though, not really 15th or 16th century. Just a gut feeling, the ageing seems artificial. It seems to be a reasonably well painted work, certainly considering the small scale, so if it is really old it certainly is worth its money and then some.
