EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures Edward Sackville, 4th Earl of Dorset, in all his regal splendor. Painted by the renowned artist William Larkin in 1613, the portrait is part of the esteemed Suffolk Collection housed at Kenwood House in London. The Earl is depicted wearing a rich red doublet adorned with lace, the fashionable attire of the Stuart era. His noble countenance exudes confidence and authority, reflecting his high social status. Despite the clear inscription identifying the sitter as Edward Sackville, this portrait has been the subject of some confusion in the past. An erroneous inscription led some to believe that it was actually a portrait of his brother, Richard Sackville, 1st Earl of Dorset. However, the meticulous records of the Suffolk Collection and the expertise of art historians have since corrected this misconception. William Larkin was a prolific painter of the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean periods. His works are characterized by their vibrant colors and intricate detail, making this portrait a prized addition to the Kenwood House collection. The portrait not only offers a glimpse into the fashion and art of the time but also serves as a testament to the wealth and power of the Sackville family during the Stuart era.
