About the piece
Painted in 1652 by Sébastien Bourdon, this portrait depicts Countess Ebba Sparre, a close confidante of Queen Christina of Sweden. The work showcases the artist's mastery of fabric, with the rich blue of the dress and the delicate transparency of the chemise creating a sense of luxury and grace against the muted, dark background.
