This 18th-century print by Christian Fritzsch depicts a medal with two sides: one with a portrait of Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden and the other with a symbolic representation of her reign. The medal was likely created to commemorate her reign, as it features Latin inscriptions referencing her royal status and the longevity of her rule. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the visual language of royal portraiture and political commemoration in the 18th century.
