Alexander Cooper

He learned painting from Peter Oliver (painter) and was active in London from 1633 to 1642, whereupon he traveled to The Hague.

His Swedish documents declare that he was Jewish, and that his full name was Abraham Alexander Cooper.

He had previously been residing in the United Provinces, but on reaching Sweden entered the service of Christina, and continued to be her miniature painter until 1654, when she resigned the crown.

[5] His works are of great rarity, and the chief are a series representing Frederick V, Elector Palatine and Elizabeth of Bohemia as well as their children.

At the same time some very remarkable portraits were owned by Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, and others were in the possession of Gustav V of Sweden and various Swedish galleries.
