Gustav Vasa, Bronze sculpture at Swedish House of Nobility, Sweden.
The bronze sculpture of Gustav Vasa stands inside the Swedish House of Nobility, displaying the monarch in Burgundian attire with a laurel wreath.
Pierre Hubert L'Archevêque created this bronze sculpture in 1774, during a period when Sweden was establishing its national identity through art.
The sculpture represents Gustav Vasa, the 16th-century ruler who established Sweden as an independent nation and introduced Protestant Reformation to the country.
Visitors can find the sculpture in the central district of Stockholm, near other historical landmarks and governmental buildings of the Swedish capital.
The statue underwent a meticulous casting process by Gerhard Meyer the Younger, resulting in fine details that capture the monarch's determined expression.
