Commentary	Abraham de Potter II (1626-1691) was the son of Abraham de Potter I (c. 1593-1650), the younger brother of Jasper de Potter (1620-1696) of INVNO 1229, as well as the brother of Susanna de Potter who married Jan Daillij and of Maria de Potter who married the caffa worker (and later dealer) Jan Bagelaer (see the TEXT of INVNO 1229). The portait of Abraham de Potter II in the Rijksmuseum, dated 1649, has been attributed to Carel Fabritius, with whom his brother Jasper was in close touch. On 19 December 1654, the honorable Abraham de Potter (II), as the husband of Trijntje Lamberts van Doorn, widow of Jan Barentsz. van Bockendorp, participated in the division of the estate of Jan Barentsz. van Bockendorp(?). He acquired a lot worth 83 f. plus some other goods. The other heirs were Engeltje Barents, Neeltje Barents, and Jannetje Barents, all presumed sisters of Jan Barentsz. (NA 1759, fol. 395, Not. Spitzhoff). In 1666, Abraham de Potter II brought a lawsuit to obtain a painting by Carel Fabritius and Daniel Vosmaer. He let the lawsuit be carried by his brother-in-law Jan Bagelaer (Bredius, Künstler-inventare, p. 1438).
