      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of an Unknown Man 1659</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Samuel Cooper was an English miniature painter, and younger brother of Alexander Cooper. This artist is regarded by many as the greatest painter of portrait miniatures who ever lived. He is believed to have been born in London, and was a nephew of John Hoskins, the miniature painter, by whom he was educated. He lived in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, and frequented the Covent Garden Coffee-House. Samuel Pepys, who makes many references to him, tells us he was an excellent musician, playing well upon the lute, and also a good linguist, speaking with ease. According to other contemporary writers, he was a short, stout man, of a ruddy countenance. He married one Christiana, whose portrait is at Welbeck Abbey, and he had one daughter.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Unfinished Portrait of Oliver Cromwell</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1668 he was instructed by Pepys to paint a portrait of Mrs. Pepys, for which he charged £30. He is known to have painted also the portrait of John Aubrey, which was presented in 1691 to the Ashmolean Museum. Evelyn refers to him in 1662, when, on the occasion of the visit that the diarist paid to the king, Cooper was drawing the royal face and head for the new coinage.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">James II, Duke of York 1661</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Excellent examples of his work are to be found at Windsor Castle, Belvoir Castle, Montague House, Welbeck Abbey, Ham House, the Rijks Museum at Amsterdam and in the collection of Mr J Pierpont Morgan. His largest miniature is in the possession of the duke of Richmond and Gordon at Goodwood. A piece of the artists handwriting is to be seen at the back of one of his miniatures in the Welbeck Abbey collection, and one of his drawings in black chalk is in the University Gallery at Oxford. His own portrait of himself is in the collection of Mr. J Pierpont Morgan.</p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Duchess of Orleans 1665</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The date of his death has been handed down by a record in the diary of Mary Beale, the miniature painter; and in some letters from Mr Charles Manners, addressed to Lord Ros, dated 1672, now amongst the duke of Rutland’s papers at Belvoir, the writer refers to Cooper’s serious illness on 4 May 1672, and to his doubt as to whether the artist would ever recover. Mary Beale’s reference to his decease is in the following words: “Sunday, May 5, 1672 Mr. Samuel Cooper, the most famous limner of the world for a face, dyed.”</p>
