"Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland" is a celebrated miniature portrait by Samuel Cooper, an English artist renowned for his mastery in miniature painting during the 17th century. Created in 1653, this artwork captures Oliver Cromwell, one of the most controversial and influential figures in British history, during his tenure as Lord Protector—a title he held from 1653 until his death in 1658.

Cromwell, a military and political leader, played a pivotal role in the English Civil War and the subsequent overthrow of the monarchy. He was instrumental in the execution of King Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England, which led to his eventual rise as Lord Protector. Cooper's portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance, as it provides a contemporary depiction of Cromwell during the height of his power.

Samuel Cooper was considered the leading portrait miniaturist of his time, and his work is characterized by its exquisite detail and realism. The portrait of Cromwell is no exception, showcasing Cooper's skill in capturing the likeness and character of his subjects. The miniature is noted for its honest representation of Cromwell, who famously requested to be depicted "warts and all," eschewing the flattery common in portraiture of the era.

The artwork remains an important piece of historical documentation, offering insight into the iconography of power and leadership during a transformative period in British history. It is also a testament to the artistry of Cooper, whose work continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its contribution to the visual legacy of 17th-century England.
