Abraham Van Der Doort
Abraham van der Doort (c. 1575/1580? - June 1640) was a Dutch artist. As Keeper of Charles I's art collections, he was the first Surveyor of the King's Pictures. Van der Doort's careworn face is familiar from a portrait and engravings held by the National Portrait Gallery in London, but little is known of his early life: indeed, his date of birth is not known with any certainty.

After Henry's early death in 1612, his collection of paintings, medals, coins and other ''objets d'art'' was inherited by Charles, and van der Doort accompanied the co ...
