"Portrait of Christina of Sweden" is a 17th-century painting by the Flemish artist Anselmus van Hulle (1601–1674). The artwork is a depiction of Christina, Queen of Sweden, who reigned from 1632 to 1654 and is known for her patronage of the arts, her unconventional lifestyle, and her eventual abdication from the throne. Van Hulle, a portraitist active during the Dutch Golden Age, was renowned for his depictions of European nobility and his participation in the Peace of Westphalia, where he painted portraits of the delegates.

The painting captures Christina in regal attire, reflecting her status and the baroque style of the period. The portrait is characterized by its detailed rendering of textures and fabrics, as well as its use of light and shadow to emphasize the queen's features and expression. Christina's strong personality and intellectual interests are often noted by historians, and van Hulle's portrait is believed to convey her formidable presence and the complexities of her character.

As a historical artifact, the portrait not only serves as a visual record of the queen's appearance but also provides insight into the cultural and political milieu of 17th-century Europe. The painting is significant for its art historical value, as it exemplifies the techniques and stylistic preferences of the era's portraiture, as well as for its subject matter, given Christina's unique role in European history.

The "Portrait of Christina of Sweden" by Anselmus van Hulle holds a place in the collections of art museums or may be held privately, and it continues to be a subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts of the Swedish monarchy's history. The work is emblematic of van Hulle's skill in capturing the likeness and persona of his sitters, contributing to his reputation as a master portraitist of his time.
