About the piece
Painted around 1750 by Johan Starbus, this formal portrait captures the elegance of the Swedish Queen Consort. Dressed in an embroidered gold gown and a heavy ermine-trimmed cloak, she sits against a backdrop of classical architecture and a cascading fountain, epitomizing the grandeur of 18th-century European court portraiture.
