This painting by Larkin is stunning.


I love these court portraits of the 1600's. The light is always upon the face and details of lace and carpets are wonderful.
Larkin is much better known in the UK but these portrait painters deserve more recognition.

The likenesses are great, the pose tends to be stiff and formal but that is what was asked for by the sitters

My wife, Angela, really dislikes the later very famous Turner paintings where he was experimenting with light and dark. Even Angela had to admire this painting.

The technique is wonderful.

Hello Roger

I have long been a great admirer of Turner, in particular his watercolor paintings. One of my most cherissed projects is featuring him at my Great Art of the World forum here. Hope to find the time for it soon.

Thanks for creating this thread, really enjoyable. I am filled with expectation to view more.
