About the piece
Commissioned in 1684, this portrait by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl immortalizes Kortom, the personal charger of King Karl XI of Sweden. The artist masterfully renders the luminous texture of the horse's white coat and muscular grace, setting the subject against a brooding landscape that features a commemorative stone plaque.
