About the piece
This 1686 portrait by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl depicts Count Bengt Oxenstjerna with the gravitas expected of a high-ranking official. The artist expertly captures the intricate textures of the sitter's lace cravat and the rich red of his mantle, set against a dark, atmospheric background typical of the Swedish Baroque period.
