EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Gustaf III of Sweden, dressed in his national costume from the late 18th century. The intricately detailed image, titled "Gustaf III's national costume of Swedish men," was created by an unknown artist and is now housed in the Nordic Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of the Nordic Museum Foundation's extensive collection. Gustaf III, also known as Gustavus III, ruled Sweden from 1771 until his assassination in 1792. This portrait captures him in a full-length depiction, proudly wearing the traditional Swedish attire of the time. The costume consists of a high-waisted, knee-length jerkin or breeches, a long-sleeved shirt, and a cloak. The most striking feature of the ensemble is the tall, feathered hat, which adds an elegant and regal touch to the outfit. The drawing illustrates the rich heritage and cultural significance of Swedish fashion during the 18th century. The intricate lettering at the bottom of the image, written in both Swedish and German, further emphasizes the historical importance of this piece. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the past, and serves as a reminder of the fashionable traditions that have shaped the Nordic region's cultural identity. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion, the 18th century, or the cultural heritage of Sweden. The Nordic Museum's commitment to preserving and showcasing such historical treasures is a valuable contribution to the world of art and history.
