EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length portrait depicts Christina, Kristina Augusta Wasa, Queen of Sweden (1626-1689), painted by the renowned artist Jacob Heinrich Elbfas (also known as Jacob Hendrik or Jakob Henrik Elbfas) in the 17th century. Christina, the daughter of King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, ascended to the throne at the age of six upon her father's death in 1632. Her reign was marked by her strong support for the arts, sciences, and religious freedom. In this painting, Christina is depicted wearing an elegant gown of rich, vibrant colors adorned with gold and metallic thread, typical of the Baroque era's opulent fashion. She wears a matching necklace and earrings, featuring pearls and intricate designs. The queen holds a handheld fan, a common accessory for women of the time, adding an air of refinement to her image. The painting, executed in oil on canvas, showcases Elbfas' mastery of the Baroque style, with its dramatic use of light and shadow and meticulous attention to detail. Christina's regal presence and the exquisite clothing and accessories in this painting are a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of the Baroque era. The portrait is now part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it continues to captivate visitors with its historical significance and artistic merit.
