"Attributed to Jacob de Backer" is copy after Christoph Schwarz

De Baecque, from France, sell on 12 November 2018 an "Attributed to Jacob de Backer" Last judgment, estimated at 4,000 to 5,000 Euro.

It is a copy after an engraving by Johannes Sadeler after a painting by Christoph Schwarz (or Schwartz), from ca. 1595 (courtesy the Rijksmuseum). The composition is therefor good, but the execution is poor, far removed from the quality shown in the works by De Backer (who wasn't known to work after engravings as far as I know). This version is not worth the estimate.

UPDATE: as expected, not sold.

UPDATE 2: again for sale at De Baecque on 28 May 2019, with a reduced estimate of 2,000 to 3,000 Euro, which seems reasonable.
