"Thomas Killigrew and his Dog" is a notable oil painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist who became the leading court painter in England under King Charles I. The painting, created circa 1638, is a portrait of Thomas Killigrew, an English dramatist and theatre manager, alongside his dog. Killigrew was a figure of significance in the English cultural scene, serving as a groom of the bedchamber to King Charles I and later as the King's jester. He was also one of the original patentees of the King's Company of actors after the Restoration and built the Drury Lane Theatre in London.

The artwork is a testament to Van Dyck's mastery in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture not only the physical likeness but also the character and social status of his sitters. In this painting, Killigrew is depicted in a relaxed pose with an affectionate expression towards his dog, indicating the close relationship between the two. The dog, often considered a symbol of fidelity, adds a layer of personal narrative to the portrait, suggesting loyalty and companionship.

"Thomas Killigrew and his Dog" is admired for its informal yet elegant composition, the rich textures of the fabrics, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, all of which are characteristic of Van Dyck's style. The painting is part of the Royal Collection of the United Kingdom and is held in the collection of the Windsor Castle. As a significant work by Van Dyck and a representation of a key cultural figure in 17th-century England, the painting holds both artistic and historical importance.
