EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts a sledge, meticulously crafted by Count Axel Oxenstierna for his ward, the future Queen Christina of Sweden, in the year 1636. The young Christina, who would later reign as Queen from 1632 to 1654, is known for her love of the outdoors and her passion for winter sports. This ornate sledge, a symbol of her privileged upbringing, would have been used by the Queen during her leisurely winter activities in the Swedish countryside. Count Axel Oxenstierna, a prominent Swedish statesman and regent during Christina's minority, held a significant influence over her upbringing and education. As her guardian, he ensured that she received a well-rounded education, including an introduction to the latest fashion and luxury items. This sledge, adorned with intricate carvings and elegant designs, is a testament to the extravagance of the Swedish royal court during the 1630s. The sledge, which resembles a modern-day toboggan, would have been pulled by horses or oxen, allowing the Queen to glide effortlessly over the snow-covered terrain. The image captures a moment in history, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the Swedish monarchy during the early modern period. This print, with its rich historical significance, offers a glimpse into the life of one of Sweden's most intriguing monarchs and the world she inhabited. The intricate details of the sledge and the regal bearing of the young Queen make for a captivating and striking visual representation of the past.
