EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 17th century portrait captures Adolf Johan t'Essen (1629-1689), Count Palatine of Zweibrücken and Duke of Stegeborg. The Count is depicted in full regalia, wearing an intricately designed breastplate and a chest plate adorned with the House of Wittelsbach coat of arms. He wears a colorful doublet and a fur-trimmed cloak, adding to the grandeur of the image. The Count's direct gaze and hand on hip convey a sense of confidence and authority. Adolf Johan t'Essen was married twice, first to Elsa Beata Brahe and later to Elsa Elizabet Brahe. This portrait, painted by the renowned artist David Klocker Ehrenstrahl, showcases the aristocrat's heritage and his position in the nobility. The Count's close relationship with Sweden is evident from the presence of the Swedish monarch, Carl Gustav (Charles X Gustav) of Sweden, depicted in the background. The King is shown in military attire, holding a sword and wearing a breastplate, signifying his role as a powerful monarch and military leader. The portrait is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the 17th century aristocracy, with its rich colors and intricate details. The direct gaze of the Count and the King adds a sense of intimacy and engagement, drawing the viewer into the painting and allowing them to connect with the subjects on a personal level. This portrait is a valuable addition to the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, providing a glimpse into the history and heritage of the House of Wittelsbach and the aristocracy of the 17th century.
