Colt [Coulte; Poultrain; Poutrain], Maximilian
(b Arras; fl c. 1595; d before c. 1660). English sculptor of French birth. He was probably a Huguenot refugee. He came to England via Utrecht and settled in London c. 1595, close to where his brother John (d 1637), who was also a sculptor, was already living. He assumed the English surname Colt, a literal translation of his own French name, and in 1607 he became an English citizen.
