About the piece
Painted in 1673 by the court artist David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, this dramatic portrait depicts Stenbock, the personal horse of King Charles XI of Sweden. The work captures the animal's powerful physique with Baroque theatricality, silhouetting the warm-toned stallion against a brooding, cloud-filled sky and a rocky terrain.
