German term or phrase: Grootesche Anbetung der Heiligen Drei Könige

Dear colleagues,

I find it difficult to translate "Grootesche'' in the above stated name of the painting "die Grootesche Anbetung der Heiligen Drei Koenige". I know that "die Anbetung der Heiligen Drei Koenige" means "The Adoration of the Magi". What does the word "Grootesche" mean in this context?

Thank you very much in advance!

Grootesche Anbetung der Heiligen Drei Koenige From the Groote Collection

Explanation:
This seems to be a painting by an anonymopus artist which was in the collection od Freiherr von Groote:

"Bei ihrem ersten Bekanntwerden im Jahr 1904 befanden sich die drei Tafeln im Besitz der niederrheinischen Adelsfamilie der Freiherrn von Groote, deren Name von Friedländer auch zur Taufe des Anonymus verwendet wurde. Im Besitz der Nachkommen der Freiherrn von Groote verblieben die Bilder auch, bis sie nun als großherzige Schenkung von Frau Dagmar Westberg ans Städel Museum gelangen. "
