EDITORS COMMENTS
Adolf Fredrik, King of Sweden and Duke of Holstein-Gottorp (1710-1771), is depicted in this stunning 18th century oil on canvas portrait by renowned French artist Antoine Pesne. Pesne masterfully captures the regal presence of Adolf Fredrik, who ascended to the Swedish throne in 1751 following the death of his father, Frederick William I of Sweden. Adolf Fredrik's elegant attire is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Rococo era. He wears a richly textured, red velvet doublet with gold braid and silver buttons, adorned with an ermine collar and a sash bearing the Swedish royal arms. The king's wig, styled in the latest fashion, is meticulously coiffed and powdered, adding to his regal appearance. The painting's background is simple yet effective, with a neutral tone that allows Adolf Fredrik to stand out as the focal point. The artist's skillful use of color and lighting further enhances the portrait's visual impact, creating a captivating and timeless image of a monarch of the Oldenburg dynasty. Adolf Fredrik's portrait is a significant piece of historical art, showcasing the heritage and traditions of both Sweden and Holstein-Gottorp during the 18th century. The painting's intricate details and masterful execution serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this important figure in European royalty.
