EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting, created by the renowned artist David Klocker Ehrenstrahl between approximately 1680 and 1689, captures the regal presence of Karl XI of Sweden's favorite horse, The Little Englishman. The dapple gray thoroughbred, with its arched neck and rearing stance, exudes power and grace. The horse's coat, with its intricate pattern of dark spots against a lighter background, adds texture and depth to the painting. Karl XI, also known as Charles XI, was the King of Sweden from 1660 until his death in 1697. He was a strong and capable ruler who modernized the Swedish military and expanded the Swedish Empire. The Little Englishman was one of his most cherished possessions, a symbol of his wealth and status. The painting is set against a lush, green landscape, with rolling hills and a serene body of water in the background. The use of color and light adds to the sense of depth and realism, making the horse and its surroundings come alive. The painting is a testament to Ehrenstrahl's skill as an equestrian painter and his ability to capture the essence of both the horse and its rider. This painting is a valuable addition to the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, where it is on display for visitors to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of this magnificent animal and its connection to the rich heritage of Swedish history.
