"Karl XIII, 1748-1818, kung av Sverige och Norge" is a portrait painted by Per Krafft the Younger, a noted Swedish artist known for his contributions to portraiture during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The painting depicts King Karl XIII of Sweden and Norway, who reigned from 1809 until his death in 1818. Karl XIII was born on October 7, 1748, and was originally named Duke Charles of Södermanland. He ascended to the throne following the abdication of his nephew, King Gustav IV Adolf, during a turbulent period in Swedish history.

Per Krafft the Younger, born in 1777, was a prominent figure in Swedish art, following in the footsteps of his father, Per Krafft the Elder, who was also a distinguished painter. The younger Krafft was known for his skillful use of color and attention to detail, qualities that are evident in his portrayal of Karl XIII. The painting captures the regal bearing and dignified presence of the king, reflecting both his royal status and the political complexities of his reign.

Karl XIII's reign was marked by significant political changes, including the adoption of a new constitution in 1809, which limited royal power and established a more parliamentary system of governance. His time as king also saw the union of Sweden and Norway in 1814, a significant event in Scandinavian history.

The portrait by Krafft is an important historical artifact, offering insight into the royal iconography of the period and the artistic style of the time. It is part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance. The painting not only serves as a representation of King Karl XIII but also as a testament to the skill and legacy of Per Krafft the Younger in Swedish art history.
