EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 17th century portrait depicts Per Brahe the Younger (1602-1680), a prominent Swedish aristocrat and statesman of the late 1600s. The painting, created anonymously around 1679, showcases Per Brahe's distinguished status through his elegant attire. He wears a red cloak lined with ermine, a symbol of nobility and royal favor, and a hat adorned with a white feather. The intricate embroidery on his cloak and the fine needlework on his shirt collar further highlight his wealth and high social standing. Per Brahe is depicted standing with a confident and authoritative posture, holding a quill pen and a sheet of paper. This suggests his various roles as a writer, privy councillor, and political advisor to the Swedish crown. His clothing, with its rich colors and luxurious fabrics, reflects the opulence of the aristocracy during this period. This oil on panel painting, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, offers a glimpse into the fashion and heritage of the 17th century aristocracy. The painting's anonymous creator masterfully captures the essence of Per Brahe the Younger, a man of great political influence and historical significance.
