The Dodrechts Museum in the Netherlands has acquired and displayed Samuel van Hoogstraten's portrait of Sir Norton Knatchbull. It was acquired by the museum after it came up for sale at Sotheby's from the Mountbatten collection in 2021 where it sold for £176,400 (inc. commission). As the oil on canvas makes clear the portrait painted in 1667 in London takes inspiration from both Van Dyck and Rembrandt (van Hoogstraten's teacher).
