Pieter Potter was the father of the more famous Paulus Potter. Born in the Zuider Zee port of Enkhuizen, he lived in Leiden from 1628–30 before settling in Amsterdam in 1631. This tonal landscape with its muted colours and low viewpoint reflects Potter's Leiden experience, but was probably painted later on in the 1630s.
