"Portrait Miniature of a Man in Armour" is a notable work by the English artist Samuel Cooper, created around 1660. Cooper, who lived from 1609 to 1672, was a preeminent miniaturist of the 17th century, often referred to as the 'Prince of Limners' for his mastery in painting miniature portraits. This particular piece is a fine example of his work, showcasing his skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters with remarkable detail and precision.

The miniature, measuring just a few inches in height, is executed in watercolor on vellum, a common medium for miniatures of this period. It depicts an unidentified man in armor, suggesting that the sitter was likely of high social status or a military figure. The armor is rendered with meticulous attention to the reflection of light and the texture of the metal, demonstrating Cooper's virtuosity in handling intricate details on such a small scale.

The portrait is set against a plain background, which was typical of Cooper's work, allowing the viewer to focus on the subject's features and the finery of his attire. The man's expression is solemn and dignified, with Cooper's adept use of light and shadow enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the face.

"Portrait Miniature of a Man in Armour" is a significant artwork that contributes to our understanding of portraiture in the 17th century, as well as the social and historical context of the time. It exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship and aesthetic qualities that are characteristic of Samuel Cooper's oeuvre. The miniature is an important piece for scholars studying the period, art historians interested in the evolution of miniature painting, and collectors of early British portraiture.
