English: This is a portrait of Armfelt as Swedish Minister to Florence. It was painted in 1793 – the year after King Gustav III was assassinated. Armfelt had been one of the king’s confidants. The portrait shows him seated in contemplation before busts of Gustav III and Julius Caesar – both victims of murderous plots. By alluding to the Roman period, the portrait takes on a deeper meaning and a kinship with the prestigious history painting. The furniture also contributes to the effect – he is leaning back in a so-called klismos chair, copied from ancient history and highly fashionable at the time. Porträttet visar Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt som svensk minister i Florens. Målningen utfördes 1793 – året efter mordet på Gustav III. Armfelt hade varit en av kungens nära förtrogna. Här sitter han tankfullt framför byster av Gustav III och Julius Ceasar – båda offer för mordiska komplotter. Genom anspelningen på den romerska antiken får porträttet en djupare mening och ett släktskap med det prestigefyllda historiemåleriet. Också möblerna bidrar till detta – han lutar sig tillbaka i en så kallad klismos-stol, kopierad efter antika förebilder och högsta mode vid tiden.
