O obrazu
Object Type
Miniature painting is defined as watercolour on a vellum (fine animal skin) support . Most miniaturists learned the technique from another miniaturist. Samuel Cooper was no exception since he was trained by his uncle, John Hoskins (born around 1590, died in 1665). In this work there are faint traces of a landscape background, possibly two church spires, low down on the right. Landscape backgrounds were rare in Cooper's work and show Hoskins' influence. The low-angle view of the sitter, with the head standing out freely against the sky, shows the influence of Hoskins' son, also John.

Robert Lilburne entered the Parliamentary army at the beginning of the Civil War and played a leading role in campaigns against the Royalists. He was nominated one of the King's judges in December 1648 and was the 28th in the list of signatures on the death warrant of the King. When Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660 Lilburne surrendered himself. He was tried and sentenced to death, but instead was imprisoned and died a prisoner five years later.
Identification
Various portraits have been thought to be of Robert Lilburne. This miniature is one of four very plausible ones. Its traditional identification was supported in 1938 by a Dr Lilburne, a descendant of Robert's ultra-republican brother John, on the basis of portraits then still in the family possession.
