EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length portrait captures Carl Gustaf Tessin (1695-1770), a count and councillor of the Swedish Realm during the 18th century. The portrait was painted by the renowned artist Martin van Meytens the Younger (1716-1770) in the Baroque style, which was popular during this era. Tessin is depicted wearing the finest apparel of the aristocracy, including a richly embroidered coat and breeches made of luxurious brocade fabric. The vibrant colors and intricate needlework on the coat and jacket are a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. Tessin is shown standing with a hand gesture that suggests confidence and authority, reflecting his political and social status. The painting, which is now housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a significant historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 18th century European aristocracy. The oil on canvas painting showcases the impeccable attention to detail and skillful brushwork that are hallmarks of van Meytens' artistic talent. This portrait of Carl Gustaf Tessin is a valuable addition to any collection of historic art and a reminder of the rich heritage of European art and fashion.
