EDITORS COMMENTS
Amalia Wilhelmina von Königsmarck's Allegory with Self-Portrait and Profile Portrait of Ulrika Eleonora the Elder, painted in 1689, is a captivating work of art that showcases the fusion of allegory and portraiture. The oil on canvas painting, mounted on a panel covered with a secondary canvas, is currently housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. The central figure of the composition is Ulrika Eleonora the Elder, the future Queen of Denmark, depicted in both a self-portrait and a profile portrait. Ulrika Eleonora is dressed in elegant seventeenth-century apparel, with a vibrant red dress adorned with intricate gold embroidery, and a matching mantilla draped over her shoulders. The rich colors and textures of the fabric are beautifully rendered, showcasing the artist's skillful use of oil painting techniques. The allegorical elements of the painting are represented by the figures of Fidelity and Abundance, who flank Ulrika Eleonora. Fidelity, depicted as a woman holding a torch, symbolizes loyalty and constancy, while Abundance, represented by a woman pouring out fruit from a cornucopia, symbolizes prosperity and abundance. Amalia Wilhelmina von Königsmarck, the artist, is believed to have been a Danish noblewoman and a skilled painter. She was the sister of Emilie von Königsmarck, who was also a renowned painter of the time. The painting is a testament to the artistic heritage of Denmark and Sweden during the seventeenth century, and a reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of portraiture and allegory in the visual arts.
