Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Oliver Cromwell NPG 5589

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Samuel Cooper

Samuel Cooper, the miniaturist who was described by the Grand Duke of Tuscany as 'a tiny man, all wit and courtesy', produced this fine portrait of Oliver Cromwell in 1649, the year of Charles I's execution. Cromwell at the time was in the process of becoming the effective leader of the Parliamentarian forces and is depicted looking callous and determined but not yet disfigured by the pimples and warts that were the distinguishing features of later portraits of him.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
