Gustav II Adolf statue, Stockholm, Bronze equestrian sculpture in Gustav Adolfs torg, Stockholm, Sweden.
The statue depicts King Gustav II Adolf mounted on a horse, wearing military armor and holding a raised sword in a commanding position.
The monument, unveiled in 1796, stands as a testament to Gustav II Adolf's leadership during the Thirty Years' War and Sweden's military success.
The sculpture represents Swedish artistic excellence through the work of Pierre Hubert L'Archevêque and Johan Tobias Sergel in neoclassical style.
