With Richard Green, London;
Anonymous sale ('The Property of a Lady'), London, Sotheby's, 5 July 1995, lot 79, where acquired by the present owner.
A. Busiri Vici, Peter, Hendrik e Giacomo van Lint, Rome 1987, p. 225, cat. no. 270, reproduced.
As Busiri Vici (see Literature) observes, the figures in this classical landscape are influenced by those of Cornelis van Poelenburch. Busiri Vici was apparently unaware of the signature and date at the time of his 1987 monograph on the Van Lint family, but correctly dated the present landscape to circa 1736.
