EDITORS COMMENTS
This miniature print showcases a young Charles XI, the future King of Sweden, in all his regal splendor. Created around 1662 by Pierre Signac, this exquisite piece of art measures just 3.8x3.3 cm and is painted with delicate gouache on parchment. In this portrait, Charles XI appears as a dignified child with an air of confidence beyond his years. His oval-shaped head is framed by a lavish collar and adorned with a sash that signifies his noble status. The attention to detail in capturing every feature of the young prince's face is truly remarkable. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to the Swedish Empire during the 17th century. It serves as a reminder of the power and influence held by aristocrats like Charles XI at such tender ages. Displayed at Livrustkammaren (The Royal Armoury) in Stockholm, Sweden, this miniature offers us an intimate glimpse into the life of one of Sweden's most significant historical figures. Carl XI ruled over Sweden from 1660 until his death in 1697 and played a crucial role in shaping Scandinavian history. This extraordinary piece evokes admiration for both its artistic mastery and its ability to capture the essence of royalty within such limited dimensions. It stands as a testament to the enduring allure and fascination surrounding nobility throughout time.
