David Klöcker Ehrenstråhl – Allegory of King Karl X Gustaf’s Enlightenment
1668. Providentia divina sits on a cloud, God's providence, blessing Karl X Gustaf's and Hedvig Eleonora's enlightenment, made by two hands outstretched from the cloud, which grasp each other. Providentia is wearing a white dress and blue brown lined fluttering jacket. She keeps her eyes directed upwards. In her right hand she holds a sprout with the all-seeing eye. Oval.

You cannot comment Why?
The picture has something of this: people, child, two, man, woman, group, baby, outdoors, fun, three, wear, son, recreation, girl.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a woman on a cloud with a halo above her head and a sword in one hand.
