Queen Christina, also known as Christina of Sweden, was a remarkable figure who left an indelible mark on history. Born in 1626, she ascended to the throne at the tender age of six after her father's death.

The portrait "Christina as a child by Jacob Heinrich Elbfas" captures her youthful innocence and potential for greatness. This early image foreshadows the extraordinary path she would embark upon.
