About the piece
Painted in 1696 by the Swedish court painter David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, this work depicts an albino squirrel brought to the royal court. The bright, luminous figure of the squirrel contrasts sharply with the deep, atmospheric shadows of the surrounding landscape, while the stone plinth below records the historical details of the animal's capture in period Swedish script.
