 | | Adrian van de Velde (1639 – January, 1672), Dutch animal and landscape painter, son of Willem van de Velde, the elder and brother of William van de Velde, the younger, the marine painter, was born at Amsterdam. |
 | | He was trained in the studio of Jan Wynants, the landscape painter, where he made the acquaintance of Philip Wouwerman, who is believed to have aided him in his studies of animals, and to have exercised a powerful and beneficial influence upon his art. |
 | | His favourite subjects are scenes of open pasture land, with sheep, cattle and goats, which he executed with admirable dexterity, with much precision of touch and truth of draughtsmanship, and with clear silvery colouring. |
