My mother-in-law found this in her garage and we wanted to find out more. Sh e had forgotten about it but remembers buying it at an antique shop in Amsterdam in her early 40’s, so about 35 years ago. Any help is appreciated.

My wife hit up the “online brain” that everyone talks about with these pics and it estimated about $300. I said everyone here is better 😁. Don’t make me look like a fool and any more detailed info helps my cause 🤣.

I assume this is what your wife already found? The result was roughly 490 US-Dollar converted from Dutch currency, result from 1992:

and possibly the same painter or another painter with a similar name (there is an additional "J"):

Thanks for your post, /u/dumbwop!

Please check the Google Lens and Yandex image searches in the auto-comment. Crop and re-crop the search box, and you may find it! Try Tineye, too. It's OK to solve your own post!

We kindly ask you to make sure your pictures are right ways up, and that you've added a picture of the back of the painting. It might be full of clues that are invisible to everyone except art historians...

Any foreign languages? Try r/translator.

If your painting is signed or inscribed: Have you searched r/WhatIsThisPainting for the artist's name? Please also try the past sale searches on worthpoint.com, invaluable.com, liveauctioneers.com, curator.org, and other similar record sites.

Please remember to comment "Solved" once someone finds the painting you're looking for. If you comment "Thanks" or "Thank You," your post flair will be changed to 'Likely Solved.'

If you have any suggestions to improve this bot, please get in touch with the mods, and they will see about implementing it!

Good luck with your post!
