Walker, Robert (b c.1600/10; d c.1658). English portrait painter. He has a certain niche in history as he was the portraitist most favoured by Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarians during the Interregnum (1649–60), but his work is generally dull and derivative (mainly of van Dyck). His last dated pictures are of 1656 and he is said to have died ‘a little before the Restoration’.
