## About Oene Romkes de Jong

Oene Romkes de Jong, identified in major authority records as Oene Romkes de Jongh, was a Dutch painter who lived from 1812 to 1896. VIAF, Wikidata, and Getty ULAN reconcile several forms of his name, including versions with and without the final “h.” The signing form O.R. de Jongh is also documented, making signatures and name variants important when matching works and auction records. The collected sources firmly establish his identity, nationality, occupation, and life years but provide little reliable detail about his training, stylistic development, exhibitions, or association with a named movement. Collectors may encounter his name through paintings, works on paper, and historical auction records filed under different spellings. Because the surviving source pack is stronger on authority control than art-historical biography, individual works should be assessed through their physical characteristics, inscriptions, provenance, and comparison with securely attributed examples.

## Common works and media

Painting is the only medium directly supported by multiple artist-identity authorities. Appraisily's auction taxonomy also places matched material within fine art and paintings and, more tentatively, works on paper and prints. These broad categories should not be interpreted as a complete catalogue of the artist's practice. For appraisal purposes, record the support, technique, dimensions, subject, signature or inscription, condition, and provenance of the specific object before selecting comparable lots.

## Market and appraisal context

Appraisily's matched public-auction data is limited, so individual results should not be treated as a stable price guide. The public page reports five matched records, four with prices, an observed range of $360 to $4,400, and a median realized result near $800. Those figures describe the collected records rather than the artist's entire market. A useful comparison should align medium, dimensions, date, subject, condition, restoration history, signature or inscriptions, provenance, and attribution confidence. Reported prices may also differ in their treatment of buyer's premiums and fees. Because the artist's name appears in multiple forms, record matching should include both de Jong and de Jongh spellings while still checking that each lot concerns the same person.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with matched auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Sparse records and uncertain attributions are retained as limitations rather than converted into unsupported conclusions.
