Pot, Hendrik (Gerritsz.)
(b ?Haarlem, c. 1585; d Amsterdam, shortly before 16 Oct 1657). Dutch painter. He has often been referred to, probably incorrectly, as a pupil of Karel van Mander I. In 1620 the city of Haarlem bought Pot’s Glorification of William I (Haarlem, Frans Halsmus.), and his painting of the Deathbed of William I (1620; untraced) hung in the Delft Town Hall. In 1632 Pot was employed in England at the court of Charles I, whose portrait he painted (1632; Paris, Louvre) and for whom he executed the group portrait Charles I, Queen Henrietta Maria and Charles, Prince of Wales (London, Buckingham Pal., Royal Col.). Pot was included by Frans Hals as a lieutenant in the Officers and Sergeants of the St Hadrian Guard (c. 1633) and the Officers of the St George Civic Guard (c. 1639; both Haarlem, Frans Halsmus.).
