Was goldsmith, carver, and portrait painter to Queen Elizabeth and to James I., who gave him for twelve years the exclusive privilege "to mint, make, grave, and imprint any pictures of our image or our royal family." He painted portraits of Elizabeth, of Mary Queen of Scots, and of other notable per- sonages, and was the first English native artist of importance whose contemporary reputation has been maintained. Hilliard was especially noted for his miniatures, of which that of Jane Seymour in the Royal Library at Windsor is one of the best. The influence of Holbein is traceable in his works. His son, Lawrence Hilliard, who was living in 1034, was also a miniature painter, and enjoyed the exclusive patent granted to his father till its term expired.
