Hendrik Lofvers, like his brothers Otto and Sicco, learned to paint from his father Peter Lofvers, who was a marine painter, sculptor and woodcarver. Hendrik followed in his father's footsteps and painted sea and river views with ships. He also made other landscapes (many Drenthe), flower still lifes and a few portraits, including a self-portrait. He was also a paintworker. This animated scene shows that Lofvers was also a skilful animal painter and very sensitively brought narrative elements to the scene.
