Charles de Groux or Charles Degroux (1825 – 1870) was a French painter, engraver, lithographer and illustrator.[3] As he moved to Belgium at a young age and his whole career took place in Belgium he is usually referred to as a Belgian artist. His depictions of scenes from the life of the disadvantaged and lower-class people of his time mark him as the first Belgian social realist painter.[4] These works made him the precursor of Belgian Realist artists such as Constantin Meunier and Eugène Laermans.[5]
