This anonymous, circular engraving, dated 1685-1720, features a bust portrait of King Charles XII of Sweden. The portrait, positioned in the center, is framed by an inscription, “CAROLUS XII D.G REX SUE”, identifying the king. The surrounding ring is divided into four sections, each containing a list of Swedish kings and their reigns, providing a genealogical overview of the Swedish monarchy. The artwork’s circular format is common in genealogical charts, effectively illustrating the historical lineage of the Swedish royal family.
