About the artist
Born at The Hague c. 1600 and died in 1659 at Beverwijk.
Pieter de Putter belongs to the earliest generation of fish-still life painters. He painted freshwater fish almost exclusively, but, as here, he also produced several works with large scale figures in the characteristic garb of fisherfolk.
