8,000€ "Anonymous" is copy after Rubens

Cambi, from Italy, sells on 15 November 2016 an "Anonymous, 17th century" Susanna and the elders, estimated at 8,000 to 10,000 Euro.

It is a large (116 by 167 cm) reverse copy with some modifications after Rubens, here shown in an engraving by Lucas Vorsterman from 1620. While it is a well-painted work with some nice variations, it still seems a very high valuation for an anonymous copy, and it would surprise me if this gets any bids over 5,000 Euro.

UPDATE: unsold, as expected.
