Hard to judge from auction house photo but figures aren't actually that good. In fact, this is a completely lifeless and boring work. The colors are nice but I can't believe it's autograph. the fact that there are various copies argues that somehow the composition originated in his workshop. There is a copy of this one in the Prado, another in Belfast, and a lesser variant by some follower in the DVRK.
