Bolland & Marotz, from Bremen, sell on 30 April 2016 an "Old Master, ca. 1600" Saint Anthony preaching from the walnut tree, an unusual subject estimated at 4,000 Euro.
It is a (probably much later) copy of a work by Bonifazio Veronese from the "Santuario del Noce" in Padua, ca. 1530. This explains why it looks good as a whole, but is lacking in the details like faces and so on. I don't think it is worth the estimate and would be surprised if anyone was willing to spend more than 2,000 Euro on this.
UPDATE: sold for 3,200€, between my estimate and that of the auction house...
