His allegorical works, such as the self-portrait and profile portrait of Ulrika Eleonora the Elder, transport us to a realm where symbolism intertwines with artistic mastery. In his captivating painting of Hedvig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp, Queen of Sweden, Ehrenstrahl immortalizes her regal grace and elegance. The delicate strokes bring forth her inner strength while showcasing her exquisite beauty. Hindrik Hasenberger's portrait is another gem in Ehrenstrahl's collection.

The artist doesn't limit himself solely to portraiture; he skillfully depicts historical figures like Count Otto Wilhelm Konigsmarck or Princess Marie Elisabeth of Saxony. Through these paintings, Ehrenstrahl transports us back in time—allowing us glimpses into their lives filled with power struggles and love affairs. Jean-Baptiste Tavernier becomes yet another subject for Ehrenstrahl’s artistry—an enigmatic figure whose intricacies are unveiled on canvas.
