A specialist drapery painter was often employed by almost all the leading British portraitists of the early and mid 18th century. The most popular and skilled of the draperyman's profession at this time was Joseph van Aken (Flemish, 1699?1749). Van Aken settled in England in about 1720 and worked for Henry Pickering and other portrait painters of the period.
