Brussels Art Auctions sells on 22 March 2016 an "Antwerp School, 16th-17th century" portrait "presumably of Erasmus", estimated at 3,000 to 5,000 Euro.
It is a dark but at first sight very good copy of the Erasmus portrait by Hans Holbein the Younger from 1530 from the Galleria nazionale di Parma.
A copy of this work, sold at
Christie's in 2015, fetched $93,750.
The condition of the painting for sale makes it impossible to decide how close to Holbein the painting for sale may be situated, and how it can be compared to the Christie's version (it seems to be somewhat less detailed), but it looks to me a painting that is clearly worth the estimate and may be worth a lot more.
