Instead, it is possibly an early work by Samuel Cooper (1608?–1672). Cooper was the nephew of Hoskins, and he was trained in miniature painting by his uncle. He must have worked in Hoskins' studio. He did not set up independently in London until 1642, when he was probably in his early thirties.","physicalDescription":"Portrait, head and shoulders, turned slightly to right and looking to front; wearing a blue sash and high collar; drapery in the background.
