Anna Larkin (1855–1939) was a Swedish-born American folk sculptor. Larkin, born Anna Elisabet Jonsdotter, began carving when she was seven years old, and at ten sold a carving of a horse to a sea captain for $10, a transaction which inspired her to pursue her passion for art. She became well known in Sweden, eventually selling a pair of model horses to King Oscar II. Her work won many prizes and she taught a great deal. With her children, Jonsdotter, now known as Johnson, emigrated to the United States in 1887. The family settled in Arkansas City, Kansas for a time. Later she married John Larkin, and the couple moved to McPherson, Kansas, where she resided until her death. A large collection of Larkin's work belongs to the McPherson Museum; the in Lucas contains examples of her sculpture
