Medaillonportret van Christina van Zweden (1626-1689) c. 1700 - 1800

This bronze relief, created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1700 and 1800, is a portrait of Christina of Sweden, Queen of Sweden from 1632 to 1654. The relief, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Christina in profile, wearing a helmet adorned with a laurel wreath and a winged helmet. This small piece of art, only 12.8 cm high and 9.7 cm wide, highlights Christina's imposing regal persona, a common theme in artistic portrayals of the Queen.
