Tajan: "Environment of Gerard Seghers" is copy after or workshop of Abraham Janssens

Tajan, from Paris, sells on 17 December 2015 a "Flemish School, ca. 1640, environment of Gerard Seghers" Angels with the dead Christ, estimated at 4,000 to 6,000 Euro.

It is a copy after or workshop variation of a work by Abraham Janssens from ca. 1610, the original of which can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

It looks to be a copy (it probably isn't good enough to be a workshop version), but a fairly good one. The main differences are in the foreground, the work for sale has the crown of thorns while the original has other elements of the passion, including something that may be the grail. The hand, visible beneath the left knee, is also missing in the copy. It would be interesting to know if the Met version has alterations, perhaps the copy matches the original version or an older idea of the composition? At least one other version exists (mentioned in the notes at the Met entry), but I haven't found an image of it.

The estimate may be a bit too high for a copy, but one never knows. UPDATE: indeed too high, not sold!
