Nicholas Lanier by Sir Anthony Van Dyck is a notable 17th-century portrait painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Anthony van Dyck. The painting depicts Nicholas Lanier (1588–1666), an English composer, singer, lutenist, and painter, who was a significant figure in the English court, serving as the Master of the King's Music to King Charles I. Lanier was also known for his role in the collection of art for the king and was a part of the intellectual circle that included poets and musicians of the time.

The portrait is an example of Van Dyck's mastery in capturing the character and status of his sitters, which contributed to his reputation as one of the most sought-after portraitists in England during the early 17th century. In this work, Van Dyck portrays Lanier with an air of relaxed elegance, typical of his style, which often imbued his subjects with a sense of grace and nobility. The painting is characterized by its refined use of color and light, as well as the detailed rendering of textures, such as the fabric of Lanier's clothing and his intricate lace collar.

Nicholas Lanier is shown holding a piece of paper, possibly sheet music, which along with his thoughtful expression, suggests his involvement in the arts. The inclusion of the paper may also serve as an allusion to his role as a composer and musician. The portrait's composition, with Lanier's gaze seemingly directed towards an unseen presence, invites engagement from the viewer, creating a sense of intimacy and contemplation.

The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the cultural and courtly life of 17th-century England. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Anthony van Dyck and in the study of English portraiture of the period.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, where it continues to be studied and admired by scholars and the public alike.
