Please help determine the time of writing, painting , and the possible authorship.
Picture, let's say, in good condition and neochen see signature , without a restoration is not possible. However, the location of the signatures of more or less possible to identify - the upper left corner of the picture .

Some details of the picture distorted ( for example , the right hand ), others did not see , because of the darkening varnish and air pollution.

copy of any Dutchman

That's right, with Govert Flinck (Govaert Flinck, 1615 - 1660).
The original is now in a private collection (sold at Christies), and was formerly in the collections of Nicholas I and the famous St. Petersburg fur trader Mertens.
