This article appears in Volume V20, Page 88 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
OLIVER, PETER (1594-1648) , English miniature painter, was the eldest son of Isaac Oliver, probably by his first wife; and to him Isaac Oliver left his finished and unfinished drawings, with the
hope
  that he would live to exercise the art of his father. The younger sons of the artist appear to have been under age at the time of his death, and were probably therefore sons by a later wife than the mother of Peter Oliver. He resided at Isleworth, and was buried beside his father at St Anne's, Blackfriars. He was even more eminent in miniature painting than his father, and is specially remarkable for a
series
  of copies in water-colour he made after celebrated pictures by scold masters. Most of these were done by the desire of the king, and seven of them still remain at Windsor Castle. A
great
  many of Oliver's works were
purchased
  by Charles II. from his widow; several of his drawings are in existence, and a
leaf
  from his pocket-book in the collection of the
earl
  of Derby. His most important
work
  is the group of the three grandsons of the 1st Viscount Montacute with their servant, now belonging to the marquess of
Exeter
 ; and there are fine miniatures by him at Welbeck Abbey, Montagu
House
 , Sherborne Castle, Minley Manor, Belvoir Castle and in the private collection of the queen of Holland. (G. C. W.)
