"Konung Karl XII" is a portrait painting by the Swedish artist David von Krafft, depicting Charles XII of Sweden, also known as Karl XII in Swedish. David von Krafft (1655–1724) was a German-born painter who became the court portraitist for the Swedish royal family, and he is best known for his depictions of the Swedish nobility and royalty of his time.

The painting "Konung Karl XII" portrays the young warrior king in regal attire, capturing the monarch's determined and martial spirit during a period when he was engaged in numerous military campaigns. Charles XII, who reigned from 1697 to 1718, is one of Sweden's most famous and controversial kings, often remembered for his role in the Great Northern War (1700–1721) and his efforts to maintain Swedish dominance in Northern Europe.

Von Krafft's portrait is significant for its historical and artistic value, as it provides a contemporary visual representation of a key figure in Swedish history. The artist's attention to detail in the king's uniform, decorations, and the overall composition reflects the baroque style of portraiture that was prevalent in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

The painting is part of Sweden's national heritage and can be found in the collections of the Swedish National Portrait Gallery at Gripsholm Castle, which houses one of the largest and most important collections of portraits in the country.

As a work of art, "Konung Karl XII" serves as an important example of David von Krafft's mastery in portraiture and provides insight into the representation of monarchical power and the cultural aesthetics of the Swedish baroque period. The portrait continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic qualities, contributing to the understanding of Sweden's royal iconography and the broader European artistic landscape of the time.
