PETER OLIVER (1589-1647)

A self-portrait

c.1620-5

RCIN 420029

The dynamism of the sitter's pose and its deliberately unfinished state marks a break with the more static, formalised miniatures of the Jacobean period. Peter Oliver was employed by Charles I to produce miniature copies of the King's favourite old master paintings, which were kept in special locking cases in the King's Closet at Whitehall.
