Gallery, was in July 1898 deposited in the 

 National Portrait Gallery. It was painted by Jacob 

 Huysman (1656-1696), a Dutch artist, who was 

 born at Antwerp, and settled in England. He 

 was the rival as a portrait painter of Sir Peter 

 Lely. One of the portraits among the "Windsor 

 Beauties," now at Hampton Court, was painted by 

 him, also an altar-piece in the King's Chapel, St 

 James's. He died in London. 



The portrait has been thought to show " mild 

 complacency, forbearance, mature consideration, 

 calm activity, peace, sound understanding, power 

 of thought, discerning attention, and secretly 

 active friendship." 



There are several portraits of Charles Cotton. 

 The portrait by Sir Peter Lely, now in the 

 possession of the writer, was formerly in the 

 possession of his great uncle, John Beresford, 

 of Ashbourne, and it is the one to be found 

 copied in Sir Harris Nicolas's, and Baxter's 

 edition of The Complete Angler. 



Sir Peter Lely (1618-1680) became intimate 

 with Charles II. and painted many beauties of his 

 Court. He was knighted in 1679. He died 

 suddenly, and was buried in St Paul's Cathedral, 

 where a monument was erected to his memory. 

 He married and had two children.
