About the piece
Painted in 1687 by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, this regal portrait depicts the future King Karl XII of Sweden alongside his sister, Hedvig Sofia. The children are idealized in classical drapery, with the young prince holding a scepter, symbolizing their royal lineage and the baroque penchant for allegorical representation.
