English
  miniature painter. His works are of
great
  rarity, and the
chief
  are a
series
  representing the king and queen of Bohemia and their children, in the possession of the German emperor; some very remarkable portraits belonging to the queen of Holland, and others in the possession of the king of
Sweden
  and in various Swedish galleries. He was the brother of Samuel Cooper, but whether senior or junior to him is not known, although, according to certain Swedish authorities, he is stated, upon very slight evidence, to have been born in 16o5, four years before his more famous brother. He came to
Sweden
  in 1646, and the Swedish documents declare that he was a Jew, and that his full name was Abraham Alexander Cooper. He had previously been residing in Holland, but on reaching Sweden entered the service of Queen Christina, and continued to be her miniature painter until 1654, when she resigned the crown. Two years later, Cooper was in Denmark, carrying out some commissions for Christian IV., but
The British colonies.
in 1657 was back again in Stockholm, where he died in the early
part
  of 166o. The date of his
birth
  is not known, but he is believed to have been born in London.
For full information regarding his career, and for various documents bearing his signature, see The History of Portrait Miniatures, by G. C. Williamson, chap. vi. page 78, and an article in the Nineteenth
Century
  for October 1905. (G. C. W.)
