EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature print captures the regal essence of Charles XI, King of Sweden, during the late 17th century. Created with meticulous detail and vibrant gouache colors by Pierre Signac, this artwork measures a mere 4x2.9 cm, yet it radiates an undeniable presence. Charles XI, who reigned from 1660 to 1697, is depicted here as a distinguished aristocrat adorned in majestic armor and crowned with jewels befitting his royal status. His confident gaze and carefully groomed moustache exude power and authority. The oval-shaped portrait showcases Charles XI's noble features against a backdrop that hints at the grandeur of the Swedish Empire. This image transports us back in time to an era when Scandinavian royalty held immense influence over their realms. Preserved within Livrustkammaren (The Royal Armoury) in Stockholm, Sweden, this miniature serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into the life of one of Sweden's most prominent monarchs. As we admire this remarkable piece by Signac, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to evoke curiosity about the rich history surrounding Charles XI and his reign.
