Hoskins, John
Hoskins, John (c.1595–1665). The leading English portrait miniaturist between c.1620 and c.1640 (from the death of Hilliard to the emergence of Samuel Cooper, Hoskins's nephew and pupil). His early work is a development of Hilliard's style. He later became a specialist in miniature versions of van Dyck's large-scale portraits, but his work often has a charm and originality of its own. His son, John Hoskins the Younger (c.1620–after 1692), was also a miniaturist.
