The miniature, executed in watercolor on vellum, a common medium for such portraits, showcases Cooper's adept use of light and shadow to create a lifelike representation of the man in armor. The choice of depicting the sitter in armor was not merely an aesthetic one but also carried significant symbolic weight, often associated with chivalry, nobility, and the military prowess of the individual. Cooper's ability to convey the texture of the metalwork, alongside the nuanced expression of the sitter, demonstrates his unparalleled skill and contributes to the enduring appeal of his work.

This portrait is a valuable piece within the oeuvre of Samuel Cooper, offering insights into the artistic conventions and societal values of 17th-century England.
