About the artwork
Dated 1689, "Karl XIs livhäst Sultan" is an artwork by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl. Context for 1689: In the Dutch Republic, a prosperous middle-class market supported landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and scenes of daily life painted at a modest scale for the home. In Japan the Edo period began in 1603, and in China the Qing dynasty took power in 1644, both bringing new patrons and styles. Background on Plants & Animals: Images of plants and animals are valued both for the care of their observation and for their decorative appeal. Naturalists and artists often worked together, especially on voyages and in published surveys of flora and fauna. The catalogue places it in Plants & Animals. The format is square.
"Karl XIs livhäst Sultan" is shown in the onlly.art catalogue for reference and browsing. A square format is flexible and works well on its own or as part of a grid on a gallery wall. Browsing works by the same artist, or from the same period, is a good way to compare styles before choosing what suits your space.
