La Suite, from Spain, sells on 18 February 2016 a "16th-17th century Italian School" "Tribute to Caesar", estimated at 5,000 to 6,000 Euro.
Too bad that it's a mediocre copy after Rubens' "The Tribute Money" from the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. Worth in the low thousands at most; but should fail to reach the estimate.
Another unrecognised Rubens copy for sale is on 28 February 2016 at Mercier, French auction house. It is described as "Flemish School, 17th century" and is estimated at 3,000 to 4,000 Euro. I couldn't immediately find the original online, but many copies float on the web.
This is a drawing by (presumably) Van Dyck after the original. Just like the other copies at the RKD, it has the to me rather hilarious title "Job tormented by demons and his wife". Estimate seems a tad high for a not very well executed copy.
