tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7974 Posts	Posted 07/18/2026 07:07 am Based on the collar, I would put it in the first half of the 17th century (just after the ruffed collar). Bust is a lot like that of Sigismund III of Poland-Lithuania, but I don;t recall a type like that. Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden had a very similar portrait (they were cousins) so you could look there, too. Edited by tdziemia 07/18/2026 07:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
