A Very Fine Portrait Miniature of a young Gentleman, facing right in gilt-studded armour, white embroidered lace cravat, full bottomed frizzed light-brown wig and slight moustache

This remarkable portrait of a gentleman is comparable to Cooper's miniature of Richard, Earl of Arran (see J. J. Foster, Samuel Cooper and the English Miniature Painters of the XVII Century, London, 1914-16, ill. pl. XXXII. no. 70, and R. Goulding, The Catalogue of Miniatures at Welbeck Abbey, Oxford, 1916, no. 69, ill. pl. XI).
