Copy after Guercino, Saint Peter

At Horta in Brussels, they sell on 11 May 2015 a "Dutch School, ca. 1800" Denial of Saint Peter, estimated at 2,000 to 2,500 Euro.

It looks like a typical painting in the style of Gerrit van Honthorst and the like, but it turns out to be a reversed, after engraving copy of a Denial of Saint Peter by Guercino, from the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Bologna. In this knowledge, the one for sale seems overestimated.
