Miniature portrait of Karl XI, King of Sweden

The portrait of the Swedish King KArl XI, still a teenager, is seen in an oval frame. The young King is seen in a half-length portrait, on his upper lip a shadow of a thin moustache. He is dressed in a cuirass and with a white scarf around his neck and a necklace with a big bluish black stone underneath a royal crown. On his head a greyish brown full-bottomed wig. The background is grey. The portrait behind a glass is surrounded by a lavishly ornate frame. It consists of a latticed foliage of gold covered with white and black enamel on which surface a row of green table cut emeralds are attached. On the top of this frame a royal crown is linked to the frame, also decorated with enamel works and emeralds on a latticed foliage.
