Painted during her time in Stockholm, it captures the youthful charm and regal aura that defined her reign. Another portrait by David Beck showcases the queen's elegance and poise, reflecting the artistic trends prevalent during the mid-17th century. In Zahrtmann's work from 1908, we witness Queen Christina amidst opulent surroundings at Palazzo Corsini. This painting transports us back to a time when she sought refuge in Rome after abdicating the Swedish throne—a decision that shocked Europe.
