Lot Essay

Little is known of Lutterell's life, though his working career is thought to have been spent in Westminster. He was born in Dublin and was a pupil of Edmund Ashfield (fl. 1669-1690). Most of his oeuvre consists of pastel copies, often on copper, of the works of Rembrandt. For other examples of his work see E. Croft-Murray and P. Hulton, The British Museum Catalogue of British Drawings, XVI and XVII Centuries, London, 1960, pp. 436-38.
