EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a regal portrait of Gustavus III, the King of Sweden from 1771 to 1792. Created in the late 18th century, this English mezzotint engraving by I. Young beautifully captures the essence of royalty and power. The engraving is based on a painting executed in 1787 by Carl Fredrik von Breda, highlighting his skill as an artist. In this portrait, Gustavus III exudes confidence and authority as he gazes directly at the viewer. He is depicted wearing a luxurious peruke wig, which was fashionable during that era and symbolized status and prestige. The attention to detail in capturing every strand of hair adds depth and realism to the artwork. The composition emphasizes Gustavus III's royal stature with rich colors and intricate textures. His elegant attire further accentuates his position as king, adorned with ornate patterns befitting his noble lineage. This print not only serves as a visual representation of Swedish history but also pays homage to the artistic talent of both Carl Fredrik von Breda and I. Young. It offers viewers a glimpse into the world of European monarchy during the Enlightenment period. Whether displayed in homes or institutions, this exquisite piece invites admiration for its historical significance and artistic merit alike.
