A very small copy after Jan Brueghel

Castor Hara, from France (part of the Drouot group), sells on 8 June 2018 a "Flemish School, 18th century" very small (5,5 by 7 cm!) watercolour of the Danse of the Children, estimated at 150 to 250 Euro.

It is, considering the scale, a very good copy of a painting I already discussed in October last year. The original is by Jan Brueghel, and many copies exist of the charming scene.

The copy is very well painted for such a small scale, and the estimate seems low for this work (which may well be 17th century). I would expect this to go for 600 to 800 Euro instead.
