About the piece
Commissioned in 1677, this masterful oil painting by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl depicts the Swedish nobleman Count Johan Gabriel Stenbock. The composition showcases the artist's ability to render varied textures, from the crisp lace of the cravat and cuffs to the heavy golden sheen of the silk robes and the deep crimson of the velvet drapery, all typical of the high Baroque court style.
