"Flemish school" is copy after Adriaen Van der Werff

Cambi, from Italy, sells on 9 March 2016 a "Flemish School, 18th century" scene with boys and girls, estimated at 1,200 to 1,600 Euro.

It is a copy after a painting from the Uffizi by Adriaen Van der Werff, "Playing children and Diogenes searching for an honest man" from about 1680 (a more popular variation on this work can be found in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich). The above image is from the RKD.

The copy is decent in the main figures, and very badly executed in the background figures. It is not by Van der Werff, and probably not by his son Pieter who made some copies of these works. Still, it is an entertaining work (the way the cat look at the bird!), and should fetch the estimate. But it's Dutch, not Flemish...
