Haarlem orphans painted by Charles Frederic Ulrich in 1884. Though Van Looy was already travelling by that time, this painting shows the uniform for Haarlem orphans that he wore until his teens, with one red sleeve and one blue sleeve. It also shows the interior of what is now the Frans Hals Museum, when it was still an orphanage.
House where Jacob van Looy lived until he died, and where a museum was opened after the death of his widow from 1949 to 1967.
