"Karl XI, 1655-1697, kung av Sverige" is a notable portrait painted by David Klocker Ehrenstrahl, a prominent Swedish Baroque artist. Ehrenstrahl, often regarded as the father of Swedish painting, was known for his detailed and realistic portrayals, particularly of the Swedish royal family and nobility. This painting depicts King Karl XI of Sweden, who reigned from 1660 until his death in 1697.

The portrait captures King Karl XI in a regal pose, emphasizing his status and authority. Ehrenstrahl's use of rich colors and meticulous attention to detail highlights the opulence of the royal attire and the solemnity of the king's expression. The background is typically subdued, drawing focus to the king himself, a common technique in Baroque portraiture to convey power and presence.

Karl XI's reign was marked by significant military and administrative reforms, which strengthened the Swedish state. He is often credited with consolidating royal power and laying the groundwork for Sweden's period of great power status in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Ehrenstrahl's portrait not only serves as a visual representation of the king but also as a historical document reflecting the era's political and cultural milieu.

The painting is an excellent example of Ehrenstrahl's skill in capturing both the likeness and the essence of his subjects. It remains an important piece in the study of Swedish art history, illustrating the intersection of art and politics during a transformative period in Sweden's history. Today, the portrait is housed in the Swedish National Museum, where it continues to be a subject of interest for both art historians and the general public.
