"17th century card players" is copy after Gerard Seghers

Rops, from Belgium, sells on 22 May 2016 a "17th century Card Players" large (92 by 134cm) work estimated at 2,000 to 3,000 Euro.

I doubt it is that old, and I certainly don't believe it is worth as much, as it is a relatively weak reversed copy after one of the masterpieces of Gerard Seghers, "The Denial of Saint Peter", a still larger work now in the North Carolina Museum of Art.

UPDATE: sold for 2,000 Euro.

UPDATE 2: what happened next
