DescriptionDescription: Carl Gustaf Rosenberg has become well known above all for his many views of Sweden, marked by simplicity and soft gradations of tone, in the Swedish Tourist Association’s year-books from the 1920s until his death in 1957. The same qualities are found in this profile portrait of Gustaf VI Adolf, taken of the new king in 1950 as a model for stamps, coins and medals.
