Thomas Killigrew and William, Lord Croft 1638 is a distinguished double portrait by the renowned Flemish Baroque artist Sir Anthony Van Dyck. Painted in 1638, this artwork exemplifies Van Dyck's exceptional skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters, as well as his mastery in the use of color, light, and composition. The painting features two prominent figures of the 17th century: Thomas Killigrew, an English dramatist and courtier, and William Crofts, 1st Baron Crofts, a notable English nobleman.

Thomas Killigrew (1612-1683) was a significant figure in the English court, known for his wit, theatrical works, and close association with King Charles I and later Charles II. Killigrew's contributions to the arts, particularly in the realm of theater, were substantial, and he played a pivotal role in the re-establishment of English drama during the Restoration period. His presence in the portrait, alongside Lord Croft, underscores his status and influence within the royal court.

William Crofts, 1st Baron Crofts (c. 1611-1677), was a prominent English nobleman and a loyal supporter of the Stuart monarchy. His political and military engagements, as well as his close ties to the royal family, are well-documented. The inclusion of Lord Croft in this portrait highlights his significance and the esteem in which he was held by his contemporaries.

Van Dyck's portrayal of these two figures is marked by a sense of elegance and sophistication. The artist's use of rich, warm tones and his ability to convey the textures of luxurious fabrics and the subtleties of flesh tones are evident in this work. The composition, with the two men positioned in a relaxed yet dignified manner, reflects the artist's talent for creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy.

This painting is not only a testament to Van Dyck's artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the personalities and relationships of two influential figures of the 17th century. The portrait is part of the collection at Windsor Castle, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
