About the piece
Painted in 1653 by Sébastien Bourdon, this portrait of Queen Christina of Sweden showcases the artist's mastery of light and texture. The interplay between the crisp white of her collar and the deep, lustrous blacks of her cloak creates a striking composition that exudes timeless Old World charm and intellectual presence.
