EDITORS COMMENTS
Gustav III of Sweden, regally depicted in this 18th century oil painting by the Workshop of Alexander Roslin, proudly wears the Armlet of Freedom around his bicep. The Armlet, a decorative armband adorned with a silver medal and metallic threads, was a symbol of the monarch's power and authority. The intricately designed medal features an image of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and war, holding a shield and a spear. The ribbon attached to the medal is adorned with silver and colored threads, adding to the grandeur of the piece. Gustav III, dressed in a richly colored robe and wearing a sash, gazes confidently at the viewer with a bow in his hand. The portrait, painted in the late 18th century, captures the essence of the Swedish monarch's regal bearing and charisma. The painting is a testament to the artistic skills of the Roslin workshop and the rich heritage of Swedish art. This portrait of Gustav III with the Armlet of Freedom is currently housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it is a popular attraction for visitors interested in the country's royal history. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors bring the past to life, offering a glimpse into the world of Swedish monarchy during the 18th century.
