"Konung Karl XI till häst" (King Charles XI on Horseback) is a notable equestrian portrait by the prominent Swedish court painter David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl (1628–1698). Created in the 17th century, this painting is one of the many royal portraits by Ehrenstrahl, who was known for his significant contribution to the development of Swedish portrait painting during the Baroque era. The artwork depicts King Charles XI of Sweden, who reigned from 1660 to 1697, mounted on a horse, symbolizing his power and majesty.

The painting is executed in the grand manner typical of state portraits of the time, showcasing the king in regal attire with a commanding presence. The composition likely aimed to convey the strength and stability of Charles XI's rule during a period of significant administrative reform and consolidation of power in Sweden, known as the "Carolean Era." The background of the painting may include allegorical or symbolic elements, such as landscapes, battle scenes, or references to the king's achievements, which were common in royal portraiture to enhance the subject's prestige.

David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, born in Hamburg, became the most sought-after portraitist in Sweden, serving as a court painter to Queen Christina before Charles XI's reign. His style blended the influences of Dutch and Flemish Baroque with the emerging tastes of the Swedish nobility, resulting in a body of work that left a lasting legacy on Swedish art.

"Konung Karl XI till häst" is an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the representation of monarchical power and the artistic conventions of the Swedish Baroque period. The painting is part of Sweden's national heritage and can be seen as a reflection of the political and cultural aspirations of the Swedish empire during the late 17th century.
