About the piece
Painted in 1654 by Bartholomeus van der Helst, this portrait depicts the celebrated Dutch artist Paulus Potter. Seated in a high-backed chair and dressed in a plush black jacket with a crisp white lace collar, Potter is captured with the tools of his trade—a wooden palette and brushes—emphasizing the dignity and intellectual presence of the artist during the Dutch Golden Age.
