What you have is most likely a reproduction of that painting. You can see it on the National Gallery's website, which includes a description, history, and detailed images of selected parts of the painting.      http://www.nga.gov/cgi-bin/pinfo?Object=46398+0+none If your picture depicts the same image, then the value will depend on the size and quality of the reproduction. Here is some sample pricing: 18" x 24" art print is $18 at: http://affiliates.allposters.com/link/redirect.asp?AID=818404376&P STID=1&LTID=5&startat=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eallposters%2Ecom%2FGe tPoster%2Easp%3FPPID%3D1%26APNum%3D376324%26search%3Dgirl%20watering%2 6f%3Dt%26FindID%3D0%26P%3D1%26PP%3D1%26sortby%3DRD%26cname%3D%26Search ID%3D 18" x 24" giclee of the image is $60 at: http://affiliates.allposters.com/link/redirect.asp?AID=818404376&P STID=1&LTID=5&startat=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eallposters%2Ecom%2FGe tPoster%2Easp%3FPPID%3D1%26APNum%3D832699%26search%3Dgirl%20watering%2 6f%3Dt%26FindID%3D0%26P%3D1%26PP%3D1%26sortby%3DRD%26cname%3D%26Search ID%3D 16" x 22" canvas transfer of the image is $104 at: http://affiliates.allposters.com/link/redirect.asp?AID=818404376&P STID=1&LTID=5&startat=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eallposters%2Ecom%2FGe tPoster%2Easp%3FPPID%3D1%26APNum%3D1045438%26search%3Dgirl%20watering% 26f%3Dt%26FindID%3D0%26P%3D1%26PP%3D3%26sortby%3DRD%26cname%3D%26Searc hID%3D Framed 27" x 35" art print of the image is $160 at: http://affiliates.allposters.com/link/redirect.asp?AID=818404376&P STID=1&LTID=5&startat=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eallposters%2Ecom%2Fge tposter%2Easp%3FPPID%3D1%26apnum%3D1096967%26search%3D1096967%26f%3Di% 26FindID%3D1096967%26SearchID%3D The sentimental value may be more important to you, since it belonged to your grandparents. If your picture depicts a different image, you may have an undiscovered masterpiece. This is extremely unlikely, but if you think it may be the case, you should have the item inspected by a professional (art appraiser, auction house, etc.) Good luck!
