These prints were published by Clement de Jonghe around 1660 as being by Potter. They were ascribed to Johannes Visscher. Paulus Potter (1625-1654) This painter from Enkhuizen died in Amsterdam when he was not even 30 years old as one of the better known Dutch painters. Potter was one of the first artists ever to choose animals as his main subject. In this he was sublime. He was in many eyes the most heralded Dutch animal artist. His art is all the more remarkable considering that he died at the age of twenty-nine and thus his oeuvre is small in number. Both a painter and printmaker he created only eighteen etchings. Condition: Very good, given age. Small margins. Attached to modern card carrier. General age-related toning and/or occasional minor defects from handling. Please study scan carefully.
