It has the date 1509 and an AD (Albrecht Durer) monogram, which is correctly not given any importance by the auctioneer as this is not some unknown Dürer painting.
However, it is a well-accomplished work which I would situate in Antwerp instead of in Germany. The work is hard to place with one specific artist, it has elements from everyone from Bosch over Francken to Massys, but so far an actual name or school escapes me.
This one warrants further attention and may well be worth a lot more than the estimate in the end.
