Jan Kobell (born Delfshaven, 1779; died Amsterdam, 14 September 1814) was a Dutch animal and landscape painter.
He studied diligently from nature, and took Paul Potter for his model, acquiring his talent for animal as well as landscape work.
Of his cattle pieces, noted for their technique and precision of drawing, there are excellent specimens in the museums of Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
The uncle Jan Kobell (born Rotterdam, 1756; died 1833) engraved anatomical plates, and his only well-known work was a series of historical portraits (1787).
The cousin Jan Kobell (born Rotterdam 1800; died 1838) was a landscape and cattle painter.
