About the piece
Painted around 1660 by Wolfgang Heimbach, this commanding portrait captures Queen Christina of Sweden in a moment of quiet authority. The composition features the queen in a sober black dress, dramatically offset by heavy, luminous red curtains that sweep across the frame, while a view of classical architecture under a clouded sky adds depth and historical context to this Baroque masterpiece.
