"Oliver Cromwell" is a portrait painting by Robert Walker, an English painter who flourished in the 17th century, known for his works depicting figures from the English Civil War and the Interregnum. The painting is one of the most iconic representations of Oliver Cromwell, a military and political leader who played a pivotal role in the execution of King Charles I and the establishment of the Commonwealth of England.

The portrait is believed to have been painted circa 1649, shortly after the conclusion of the Civil War and the beginning of Cromwell's ascent as Lord Protector, a position he would assume in 1653. Walker's depiction of Cromwell is notable for its austere realism, a departure from the idealized portraiture of the era. It reflects Cromwell's reputed request to be painted "warts and all," emphasizing authenticity over flattery.

In the painting, Cromwell is shown in military attire, with a plain collar and a subdued color palette, which reinforces the Puritanical disdain for extravagance. The portrait captures Cromwell's steely gaze and determined expression, conveying the resolute character of the man who would become one of the most controversial figures in British history.

The "Oliver Cromwell" portrait by Robert Walker is held in high esteem for its historical significance and its role in shaping the visual legacy of Cromwell. It is housed in a number of collections, with versions and copies found in prominent institutions, including the National Portrait Gallery in London. The painting is not only a work of art but also a primary source for historians studying the period and the iconography of power during the English Republic.

As a testament to its enduring relevance, the portrait continues to be a subject of study for art historians and scholars of the English Civil War, offering insights into the period's aesthetics, politics, and the complex figure of Oliver Cromwell himself.
