The Ashmolean collection of miniatures was begun in the 17th
century by the Tradescants, father and son, gardeners to Charles I
and Henrietta Maria. Among its most generous benefactors was the
Reverend Bentinck Hawkins, chaplain to the Dukes of Cambridge and
an insatiable 19th-century collector. The miniatures, mostly of
very high quality, range from the Tudor and Stuart era to Victorian
times, and include specially distinguished works by Isaac Oliver,
Cooper, Zincke, Smart, Cosway and Engleheart.
