jeweler and who painted nearly all the 
personages of his time, being referred 
to in his license given by James I as 
“our principal drawer of small por¬ 
traits,” and Isaac Oliver, whom some 
connoisseurs rank above Hilliard, and 
whose full-length miniature portraits 
are the earliest in this style to be 
painted by an English artist. Oliver 
may well be placed in the first rank of 
the world’s miniaturists. Peter Oliver 
(1594-1648), Isaac’s son, also ranked 
high as a miniaturist. 
The 17th Century Painters 
Of the 17th Century miniaturists, 
those included in what may be termed 
the Stuart Period, Anthony Van Dyck 
probably painted some portraits-in-lit- 
tle. At any rate, his influence in the 
development of portraiture, as depart¬ 
ing from the Holbein style, was very 
great as is shown by the work of Sir 
Balthasar Gerbier (1592-1667), John 
Hoskins (1590P-1664), Samuel Cooper 
(1609-1672), Thomas Hatman (1637- 
1688), Nathaniel Dixon (1640-1690?), 
Lawrence Crosse (1660P-1724), Bernard 
Lens (1682-1740), to name some of 
the high lights. 
As Davenport points out, the domi¬ 
nant influence in the 18th Century 
English miniature work was supplied 
by Sir Joshua Reynolds. Among the 
noted English artists of this and of 
the early 19th Century we may men¬ 
tion Richard Cosway, R. A. (1740- 
1821), the first English miniaturist to 
paint in transparent color only; Maria 
Hadfield Cosway, his wife, and other 
women artists who have already been 
mentioned; Ozias Humphrey, R. A. 
(1742-1810), Richard Crosse (1742-
