About the piece
Painted by the renowned Carl Gustaf Pilo around 1766, this portrait showcases the luminous technique and sophisticated palette characteristic of Swedish court portraiture. Sofia Magdalena, Queen of Sweden, is depicted with a serene expression, her intricate gown of gold, teal, and fine lace serving as a testament to the period's opulent fashion and Pilo's masterful rendering of texture.
