Peter Oliver
Peter Oliver is represented in this archive by a single sheet, The Family of Cain, drawn in pen and black and brown ink with brush and gray wash over red chalk, its highlights set with white gouache. The drawing sits within the graphic traditions of the earlier seventeenth century, worked in a technique that combines linear pen work with tonal wash and bodycolor to build form and light. Dating to 1638, this lone example offers a concentrated point of access to Oliver's draftsmanship rather than a broad survey of his output.
