Gustav II Adolf, Bronze equestrian statue in Gustav Adolfs torg, Stockholm, Sweden.
The statue represents King Gustav II Adolf on horseback, wearing military attire with a raised right arm and holding a baton in his left hand.
Inaugurated in 1796, this statue marks the first outdoor equestrian monument in Sweden, created by French sculptor Pierre Hubert L'Archevêque after numerous production delays.
The granite pedestal displays medallions of four military commanders and includes a relief of statesman Axel Oxenstierna dictating to Clio, the muse of history.
The monument stands in central Stockholm's public square, intersected by Köpmansgatan, Torggatan, Norra Hamngatan, and Östra Hamngatan streets.
The statue underwent multiple casting attempts, with one version sinking in the North Sea during transport before the final successful installation.
