- Biography and References
A miniature described as Collet by Zincke and inscribed as aged 48 in 1721 was in the 'Portrait Miniatures' exhibition, 1865 (300). Lent by Miss Catharine Scheil, with three other miniatures of Collet's family, it may well be the same as one subsequently lent by Sir Charles Dilke to the miniatures exhibition, Burlington Fine Arts Club, 1889 (54). No other portrait appears to be recorded.
