Specialist note

This painting includes a distant view of the Huis Ten Bosch (meaning The House in the Wood), one of the famous buildings just east of The Hague. Built in 1645-52 according to the designs of Pieter Post, it originally served as the summer residence for Prince Frederik Hendrik of Orange and his wife, Amalia of Solms.
