"South Italian, style of Caravaggio" is copy after Rubens

Hampel, from Germany, sells on7 December 2017 a "South Italian, first half of the 17th century, style of Caravaggio" Give unto Caesar, estimated at 4,000 to 6,000 Euro.

It is a reverse copy after Peter Paul Rubens, "Tribute Money", now in the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. The estimate seems rather high as it is not the best painted version (e.g. the Jesus is rather poor).
