EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor on parchment portrait depicts Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie (1622-86), a prominent aristocrat and statesman of the Swedish Baroque era. De la Gardie served as Lord Chancellor and Count, holding significant political power during the reign of Queen Christina of Sweden. The portrait was created by the renowned English artist Alexander Cooper (1629-1700), who was known for his miniature portraits in watercolor on parchment. This particular portrait is housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, and is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the 17th century aristocracy. De la Gardie is depicted in the portrait wearing a richly embroidered robe and a gold-embroidered hat, signifying his high rank. The intricate details of his attire, as well as the delicate shading and use of color in the portrait, showcase Cooper's exceptional skill as a painter. The portrait is further enhanced by its gold-decorated portrait box, adding to its overall grandeur and historical significance. This portrait of Magnus Gabriel de la Gardie offers a glimpse into the political and social landscape of 17th century Sweden, as well as the artistic styles of the Baroque era. It serves as an important addition to the heritage art collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, and continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and historical significance.
