Paulus Potter ( Dutch pronunciation: [ˈpʌulʏs ˈpɔtər]; 20 November 1625 (baptised) – 17 January 1654 (buried)) was a Dutch painter who specialized in landscapes featuring animals, often from a low vantage point.
Before Potter died of tuberculosis at the age of 28 he produced about 100 paintings, working continuously.
