DescriptionDescription: The Dutch artist Karel van Mander III was royal portraitist to Christian IV, and would shape the image of the monarch in his mature years. There are several portraits of the king in full length, similar in composition to this one. In the background is Frederiksborg Castle, which assumed its present appearance under Christian IV. It is now home to the Museum of National History – the Danish counterpart to the Swedish National Portrait Gallery.
