Illustration of a "Lap Rock" tulip by Pieter Holsteyn the Younger

Pieter Holsteyn the Younger (* around 1614 in Haarlem ; † July 1662 there ) was a Dutch painter , draftsman and printmaker . He is the son of Pieter Holsteyn the Elder and the brother of Cornelis Holsteyn (1618–1658).

Pieter the Younger worked in Haarlem and became a member of the local Guild of St. Luke in 1634 . Like his father, he was best known for his small-format animal pictures. The attribution of the younger works is controversial, as Pieter the Younger started in his father's workshop in Haarlem and used the same signature. Pieter Holsteyn the Younger was also active in Zwolle , Enkhuizen , Münster and Amsterdam . He died in Haarlem in 1673.

Pieter the Younger illustrated e.g. B. Tulip catalogs that were popular for connection with the tulip mania .
