Henri de Groux, Henry-Jules de Groux, Henry Degroux
Henry de Groux (1866–1930) was a Belgian painter, sculptor, and lithographer associated with Symbolism. He established an early reputation with the 1889 painting Christ attacked by a mob, a dramatic religious subject that placed him within Brussels’s progressive artistic circles. Although Belgian, he spent much of his working life in Paris. His practice crossed painting, sculpture, and lithography, giving collectors several distinct kinds of objects to encounter under his name. Later in his career, he produced works concerned with the violence and suffering of the First World War. The combination of Symbolist context, expressive narrative subjects, and activity in both Belgium and France helps explain why his work appears across painting and works-on-paper categories. Authority records also preserve variant forms such as Henri de Groux, Henry-Jules de Groux, and Henry Degroux, which can matter when matching catalogues and auction records. His birth year is not completely settled across authorities: the source pack supports both 1866 and 1867.

Common works and media
Collectors may encounter paintings, sculptures, and lithographs attributed to Henry de Groux. Documented subjects include emotionally charged religious imagery and later representations of First World War violence and suffering. Because his authority records use several forms of his name, works and references may be catalogued under Henry or Henri de Groux, Henry-Jules de Groux, or the unspaced surname Degroux. Medium, date, subject, inscriptions, and attribution should therefore be checked together when identifying a possible work.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal should first determine whether an object is a painting, sculpture, lithograph, or another work requiring further classification. Date and subject can help place it within de Groux’s career, particularly in relation to his 1889 Symbolist breakthrough or his later First World War imagery. Cataloguers should also search documented variants of his name when reviewing auction records. Relevant comparisons should use works in the same medium, period, and subject area and should account for their sale dates. The available source pack does not provide enough detailed auction-house evidence to support price predictions, scarcity claims, or conclusions about market liquidity.

Appraisal caveats
- The source pack contains an Appraisily auction-record signal but no detailed major-auction-house results, category breakdown, condition reports, or provenance evidence.
- The supplied record count is an index signal and does not by itself establish authenticity, scarcity, market liquidity, or current value.
- Object-specific attribution, condition, provenance, dimensions, and inscriptions require separate examination before an appraisal conclusion.
