Leo Spik, from Berlin, sells on 14 April a "Circle of Adriaen Isenbrandt" Adoration of the Magi, estimated at 4,000 Euro.
The in parts heavily damaged panel is actually a copy after or workshop work of Pieter Coecke van Aalst. Only the position of the head of the kneeling King in the front has been changed; perhaps this is the portrait of the donor?
The style of some aspects of the work is quite different though. The head of the Virgin is much more in a Leonardesque sfumato-inspired style, and not the typical more Primitive Coecke style.
The work for sale should be worth a bit more than the estimate, but the damage will prevent it from really getting beyond 10,000 Euro probably.
