About the Item
Pieter Symonsz Potter
Dutch 1600 - 1652
Soldier in an Interior
Oil on oak panel, red seal to reverse
Image size: 15 x 10 3/4 inches
Dutch Ebonised frame
Bathed in a well lit room, a man stands with his trusty dog in front of a map. His clothes – he is wearing boots with spurs, elegant outfit and a sword – suggest that he is a soldier. The map suggests he has travelled for his fighting and the spartan room.
The man holds a miniature portrait of a lady, so more than likely his wife who has passed away. Like most of Potter's soldier scenes this picture is most likely to be painted in Amsterdam in the 1630s.
Pieter Symonsz Potter
Pieter Symonsz Potter (1597, Enkhuizen – 1652, Amsterdam), was a Dutch Golden Age painter. According to Houbraken he was the city secretary of Enkhuizen, married to the daughter of Paulus Bertius and the father of the painter Pieter I Potter, making him the grandfather of Pieter II, Paulus, and Maria Potter. His wife was the sister of the painter Willem Bartsius, and he was the father, not the grandfather, of Pieter II, Paulus and Maria. He was first trained as a glass painter and in 1628 moved to Leiden to learn painting in oils. He is known mostly for genre pieces and farm landscapes, and he became a member of the Delft Guild of St. Luke in 1646, and a member of the Confrerie Pictura in 1647 (though this record in the The Hague guild archives may have been for drawing lessons for his oldest son Peter).

Provenance
Private European Estate
This striking portrait dates to around 1620, as you can see from the images of the sash the detail is very high. The sash is decorated with gold thread and would have cost a small fortune at the time. Sashes were originally developed for a military function (making officers more visible for their men during combat), but soon became a primarily male fashion...

Portrait of a Melancholic Gentleman
Oil on canvas
Image size: 25 x 29 1/4 inches (63.5 x 72.25 cm)
Hand made contemporary style frame
Provenance
South of England Estate
This is a striking 17th century half-portrait of a man. He sits with his body turned to the left and his head to the right. His left hand is held in front of him with thumb and finger together. He wears a loose white shirt that is opened low down onto chest while being closed at his neck with a black ribbon. An orange cloak has also been draped across his arms in a rather dramatic manner.
This choice of costume is immediately notable and must be compared to other portraits of this time of Elizabethan courtiers wearing slashed silk outfits with ostentatious finery and silver swords. Indeed, if one examines 17th century English...
