Adriaen Foly (1664, in Copenhagen – 1701, in Copenhagen), was a Danish painter.
According to Houbraken he travelled to Italy and joined the Bentvueghels with the nickname "Zinnebeeld".[1]
The Netherlands Institute for Art History claims he was in Rome with the Bentvueghels during the years 1664–1666.[2] He was the same person as "A. Foolio" on engravings, and was probably known for miniature paintings.[2]
