Brief Biography-Samuel Cooper from London was a miniature painter. His uncle John Hoskins, who was a miniature painter, tutored him. Alexander, his older brother, was also a miniature painter. Samuel set up his studio in 1642, and it is said that the works of Anthony van Dyck influenced him. Oliver Cromwell was a patron of Cooper, who commissioned several portraits from him. After the restoration of King Charles the Second, he was designated the king’s Limner and depicted the king’s head for coinage.
