EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century portrait captures Hedvig Elisabet Charlotta, Queen of Sweden, in all her regal splendor. Painted by Adolf Ulric Wertmüller in 1797, the portrait showcases the queen's elegant empire gown, characterized by its clean lines and high waist, which was a popular fashion trend during the late 18th century. The dress is adorned with intricate floral patterns and a vibrant color palette, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Swedish monarchy. The queen's elaborate hairstyle, featuring tight curls and an ornate headdress, is a testament to the intricacy and artistry of 18th century hairdressing. Hedvig Elisabet Charlotta, a German princess from the House of Oldenburg, was a diarist and memoirist, and her personal writings provide valuable insights into the court life of Sweden during her reign. Born in 1759, Hedvig Elisabet Charlotta was a member of the Holstein-Gottorp dynasty and became queen consort of Sweden upon her marriage to King Gustav IV Adolf in 1774. Her reign was marked by political instability and conflict, and she was eventually forced to abdicate in 1809. This portrait, which is now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Swedish monarchy and the artistic talent of Adolf Ulric Wertmüller. The intricate details of the queen's apparel, jewelry, and hairstyle provide a glimpse into the fashion and beauty trends of the 18th century, making this portrait a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or fashion history.
