About the piece
Painted in 1651 by Jürgen Ovens, this portrait depicts Hedvig Eleonora, Princess of Holstein-Gottorp and later Queen of Sweden. The work showcases the artist's skill in rendering the soft textures of her gown and the luster of her pearls against a somber, atmospheric background typical of the Baroque period.
