Specialist note

Born in Amsterdam, Looten had settled in London by July 1662 and later moved to York. Four landscapes attributed to him are in the Royal Collection, two of which were painted in circa 1675 for King James II (see O. Millar, The Tudor, Stuart and Early Georgian pictures in the Collection of her Majesty the Queen, London, 1969, I, pp.155-156, nos. 413-416). At the time of the sale in 1999, Sir Oliver Millar observed that this landscape was painted after Looten’s arrival in England and identified the staffage as by Jan Wyck.
