OLIVER, Peter, the eldest son of the preceding, was born in London in 1601. He was instructed in art by his father, and succeeded to his father's place and reputation in miniature portrait-painting. Among other works, he executed a portrait of his wife, which was, in the time of Walpole, in the possession of the Duchess of Portland; and seven historical pieces, which were lately in Queen Caroline's closet in Kensington Palace. His death took place about 1654.
