Patience Ward owed his unusual name to his Puritan parents, who, hoping for a daughter after six sons vowed to call their new-born ‘Patience’, whatever the sex. Born in Yorkshire and initially persuaded towards a career in the church, Ward instead found that his calling was in trade and after a period as an apprentice became free of the Merchant Taylor’s Company in 1654-5. Just prior to that date he married Elizabeth Hobson (d.1685) of Hackney and it was possibly for this occasion that the present miniature was commissioned.
