EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait, painted by David von Krafft in 1707, showcases King Karl XII of Sweden, also known as Charles XII, in his regal attire. The monarch, born into the House of Wittelsbach, is depicted with a confident posture, one hand resting on his hip, and a thoughtful expression. The eighteenth-century painting, executed in oil on canvas, is a testament to the grandeur of the Swedish monarchy during this period. King Karl XII, a Protestant ruler, is dressed in the finest clothing of the time, including a richly colored coat, breeches, and waistcoat. He wears a high-collared shirt, a cravat, and a hat adorned with feathers. His boots, with their distinctive carriage boots, are a common feature of Swedish military attire. The king's attire reflects the strong influence of Lutheranism and the Protestant faith on Swedish fashion during this era. The painting, which is now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, provides a glimpse into the heritage and history of the Swedish monarchy. The image of King Karl XII, with his sword at his side, embodies the strength and power of the Swedish monarch during the Palatinate-Zweibrücken dynasty. The intricate details of the painting, from the king's clothing to the background, offer a fascinating insight into the art and fashion of the eighteenth century. This historic portrait continues to captivate viewers with its striking representation of a pivotal figure in Swedish history.
