Larkin, William (d. 1619). English portrait painter. He emerged from total obscurity in 1952 with the publication of his only securely attributed works—a pair of small oval portraits at Charlecote Park, Warwickshire. Subsequently, on circumstantial evidence, several other portraits have been attributed to him; they are in a very different vein to the Charlecote pictures—full-lengths featuring elaborate Turkey carpets, dazzling metallic curtains, and poses of a starched magnificence, notably a breathtaking group at Ranger's House, London. If they are indeed all by Larkin he was the genius of Jacobean painting;
Ellis Waterhouse considered the Ranger's House portraits to be the work of ‘atleast three different hands’ (one of them perhaps
Isaac Oliver's), but technical examination in the 1980s indicated they are all from the same studio.
