N.B. This painting is closely related to a known engraving created in 1836 by William O. Geller of the same title.

Geller created Looking Out.1 Based on a stencil that was once visible on the verso canvas “JAs Spore 101 Fourth Street St. Louis, Mo,” it is also possible that the painting is a copy after the engraving by an American painter from the St. Louis area. Geller also created another engraving after a Parker painting titled The Covenanter, which sold at auction in 2004.

Quinn, The Life and Work of Martin Johnson Heade: A Critical Analysis and Catalogue Raisonné (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2000), no. 460. N.B. Martin Johnson Heade was born in 1819 in rural Pennsylvania, and began painting at the age of eighteen. He spent the next forty years traveling around the United States as well as going abroad to Europe to paint. In 1858, he moved to New York City and settled into the Tenth Street Studio Building, where he painted alongside many of the leading painters of the Hudson River School. His landscapes from this period clearly show this influence, although he was less interested in conventional scenes of natural beauty and often chose to paint eastern salt marshes instead. He also began painting still lifes when he moved to New York; these mainly consisted of arrangements of flowers in vases. In his later years, he began to paint magnolias and roses in a different manner, reclining on a table instead of in a vase and by themselves instead of amongst other types of flowers. These later still lifes also reflect a great attention to detail, surprising for an artist near the last years of his life.1 1. Stebbins, Theodore E. Jr., Martin Johnson Heade (Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, 1999).
