Christina, Queen of Sweden

"Christina, Queen of Sweden" is a painting created by Sébastien Bourdon between 1650 and 1660. It is housed in the Royal Armoury. The painting's dimensions are 0.173 meters wide and 0.23 meters high. The artwork depicts a half-length portrait of Christina, Queen of Sweden. She is shown from the chest up, her body slightly turned to the right, her gaze directed towards the viewer. She has shoulder-length brown curly hair, partially pulled back from her face. She wears a dark, possibly velvet, garment with a lighter, possibly fur-trimmed collar. A white, possibly linen, undergarment is visible at the neckline and sleeves. Her right hand rests gently on her chest. She wears a dark-colored bracelet or watch on her left wrist. The background is dark and indistinct. The painting style is characteristic of Baroque portraiture, with a focus on capturing the sitter's likeness and conveying a sense of her personality.
