"Attributed to Cornelis Schut" is copy after Rubens

Chiswick, from the UK, sells on 3 October 2017 an "Attributed to Cornelis Schut" Lamentation, estimated at 5,000 to 7,000 Euro.

It is a well-painted but somewhat flat copy after the Lamentation by Rubens from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, and as such it is hard to actually attribute it to an artist. Schut was presumably a pupil of Rubens, and worked in a similar style, but the copy here is not exceptionally good or distinctive so no good reason to attach it to one name seems to be present.

The value seems a bit on the high side, but good Ruben' copies tend to fetch remarkably high prices sometimes.

"Attributed to Schut" = Copy after Schut

Horta, from Brussels, sells on 17 October 2016 a "17th c. Antwerp School, attributed to Cornelis Schut" Susanna and the Elders, estimated at 15,000 to 25,000 Euro.

The original version of this work was sold at Sotheby's in 2004 for £128,000, and then in 2008 pre-restauration for sale at Jacques Leegenhoek, and art dealer in Paris. It has since been sold to the Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels.

The work for sale now clearly isn't by Schut, but a later, somewhat more academic copy (e.g. the folds of the clothing are much more stylized and stiff). I'm not certain it isn't a recent copy either, but asuming it is old (18th or 19th century), it should be worth around 10,000 Euro.

UPDATE: not sold, the estimate was indeed a bit too high.
