William Larkin (circa 1580s, London – April or May 1619, London), English painter known for his iconic portraits of members of the court of James I of England, paintings which capture in brilliant detail the opulent finery worn by the aristocracy during the Jacobean era. Born in London in the early 1580s and active from 1609 until his death in 1619, little is known of his life. And although he was recorded as a portrait painter in contemporary documents, no surviving works were attributed to him until the 1950s. Since then, about forty portraits have been identified as being by his hand (and his studio.)
