Description

GERMAN GROBE (1857-1938) was an artist who was very well respected which is borne out in the prices achieved at auctions in Germany and the UK. Prices have run in to the thousands.

Oil on board – ‘A PREGNANT WOMAN KNITTING OUTDOORS’.

Unsigned but the label to verso is in the same hand writing as the label of the other painting we have listed by the same hand which is signed. In addition the style of this painting is clearly that of German Grobe.

To the bottom left is the number ’31’ which could be the date it was painted i,e 1931.

Appprox measurements inc frame: H:54 W:41cm D:3cm

We have another painting listed by the same hand.

BIOGRAPHY:

German Grobe was son of the merchant Johannes Grobe and his wife Amalie, born Eberhard. After he in his native city first lessons with George Cornicelius had received, he attended from 1873 to 1876 the Stadel Art Institute in Frankfurt am Main, where he student of Eduard Von Steinle was. In October 1877 Grobe went to Ludwig Von Lofftzat the Munich Art Academy and moved in 1879 to the Art Academy in Dusseldorf, where he was first a student of Eduard von Gebhardt was. From 1880 to 1883 he was a student of Eugen Ducker, one of the leading landscape painters in Germany. In preparation for the new teacher Grobe visited in the summer of 1879 eight weeks, the artist colony Ekensund on the northern shore of Flensburg Fjord. However, the decisive artistic impulse went for Grobe of Dückers predecessor Andreas Achenbach from whose realistic-pathetic seascapes in Germany for many years, the idea of the “picturesque Holland” imprinted.

Grobe took study trips to the coastal regions of Bordighera / Riviera (1881 and 1882), Le Treport / Normandie and Vlissingen (1882), Sylt and again Vlissingen (1883) and Ekensund (1884). Another study trip led him in 1884 after Egmond aan Zee.
Works in the public domain can be found in Katwijk Museum, Stedelijk Museum De Lakenhal Leiden, Museum Kunst Palast Dusseldorf, Museum Berg Flensburg, Museum Kunst der Westkuste in Alkersum auf Foehr, Altonaer Museum Hamburg and the Historical Museum Schloss Philippsruhe, Hanau.

Having left my profession as a lawyer, I had the opportunity to turn my attention to my real passion: buying and selling antiques of all eras. I quickly found that the best way forward was to buy what I like; items that make my heart flutter on seeing them for the first time. The name ‘The Tractor Shed’ came about after doing some research into the origins of my family home. We discovered that it was converted from the offices of a business where tractors were restored and sold in the 1960s and 1970s.

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 17th October 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
