Hello, I just found this painting in a local antique market. I don’t know who the painter is (apparently someone called de Groeve), I just like the landscape. Google Lens does not identify it as a reproduction, it just the style of 19th century Dutch painters. Did anyone hear of this painter? Would it worth buying it for the equivalent of 350 Eur?

Thank you!

  1. I’d like to counter that question: will you enjoy it when it’s hanging on your wall and do you think that’s worth 350? If yes, then it’s worth it.

  2. I want to give it to a friend as a present and she has a lot of paintings and antiquities. It would be embarrassing to give something completely worthless. That is why I am asking. I love the landscape, but I am a complete n00b when it comes to art.

  3. You sure the painter’s name is De Groeve and not De Groote? The [works by A. de Groote ](https://www.mutualart.com/Artist/A–de-Groote/B113E35EA8DCF947/Artworks) seem familiar in style, but I’m not at all a specialist in the matter so I could be (very) wrong…

    As for the price… It looks like a work from a pre-impressionist style, which was quite popular at that time. But style and names do not always say everything about value. The state of the painting is also important. In other words: is the painting dirty or damaged? And is the frame original?
    And last but not least… What do you want to pay for it?

  4. I tried to find any painter with as last name staring with GRO as that is what I can decipher from the picture and came up with nothing, sorry…
