Dorotheum: Flemish School is copy after Rubens (plus a copy after Teniers)

Dorotheum sells on 10 December 2015 a "Flemish School, first half of the 17th century" Adoration of the Magi estimated at 4,000 to 6,000 Euro.

Just like the Abraham Janssens copy from my previous post, this is a copy as well, this time from a Rubens. A bit strange that they didn't notice this or don't mention this. The description is perfect for the original, the copy may well be a bit later. Considering the lack of quality of the copy, I think it will struggle to get the lower estimate.

The same sale also has a "Circle of David Ryckaert III" Dulle Griet, estimated at 1,500 to 2,500 Euro. It is a copy after a David Teniers (already discussed at the time of the sale of another unrecognoised copy of this work).
