Adrian Van de Velde (also Vandevelde) came from a family of 17th-century Dutch artists. Son to Willem Van de Velde the elder, and brother to the marine painter Willem the younger, Adrian was a painter of animals and an etcher. He was often employed by landscapists to paint the animals in their pictures. He also executed many independent works, and as an etcher he stands among the foremost of the Dutch school.
