King Charles XI’s guardian angel. Allegory David Klöcker Ehrenstråhl (1629-1698)
David Klöcker Ehrenstråhl – King Charles XI’s guardian angel. Allegory
1668.
The king’s guardian angel, made in full figure face head right, body left and wearing a worn blue dress, walks on a stone terrace and with one hand holds up the images of the mind around which the golden golden thread of life has been made. With her other hand, she removes the goddess Atropos, who appears in the hip image obliquely from behind sitting on the stone terrace in the foreground, dressed in red dress, white linen sleeve and yellow and dark purple draperies. Atropos searches with a pair of scissors for the life-thread, which with his other end is held by the goddess of fate Lachesis, visible in a star wreath among the clouds. In the background landscape.

Perhaps it’s a painting of a woman in a blue dress with a bird on her shoulder and another.
