EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the noble visage of Richard Sackville, 3rd Earl of Dorset, painted by the talented artist William Larkin in 1613. The Earl is depicted in grand Stuart-era attire, wearing a red doublet adorned with intricate lace detailing. The richness of the fabric and the meticulous rendering of the lacework are a testament to Larkin's skill as a painter. The portrait was created during a period of great change in English history, as the country transitioned from the Elizabethan era to the reign of King James I. Sackville, a prominent figure in the court of King James, is shown here with an air of confidence and authority, reflecting his status as a powerful nobleman. The portrait is part of the Suffolk Collection at Kenwood House in London, which is managed by Historic England. The Collection is renowned for its exceptional quality and breadth, showcasing a diverse range of art and historical objects from various periods. This portrait of Richard Sackville is a particular highlight, not only for its artistic merit but also for the insights it provides into the fashion and culture of the early 17th century. Despite the clear inscription on the portrait identifying the sitter as Richard Sackville, there have been occasional errors in the past, leading some to mistakenly believe that this is a portrait of his brother Edward. However, the careful examination of historical records and the expert analysis of the painting itself have confirmed the true identity of the subject.
