POTTER, PAULUS, born at Enkhuysen,
baptized Nov. 20,
1625, died in Amsterdam,
buried
Jan. 17, 1654.
Dutch school;
animal and landscape
painter, son
and pupil of Pieter
Potter. Family
settled at Amsterdam
in 1631, and in the following year
Paul went to study painting at Haarlem
under Jacob de Weth the elder. His earliest
known picture, in the Gallery at Gotha
(1641 ?), and his etching of Le Vacher
(1643), show the precocity of his talent,
which attracted notice at Delft, where he
was made a member of the Guild of St.
Luke, Aug. 6, 1646, and at The Hague,
where he resided from 1649 to May, 1652.
