Close to Frans Hals, for 1/1000th of the price...

Auctionata sells on 7 January 2016 a "Dutch School, 17th century" portrait of an elderly woman with a bible, estimated at 2,400 Euro.

It is in all aspects but pictural quality and condition very close to some portraits by Frans Hals, like the above example from the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

Below some comparable details from the two paintings.

The painting for sale seems cheap for what you get. UPDATE: sold for 1,400 Euro only, looks like a bargain to me.
