Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie with his spouse Maria Eufrosyne. Painting from 1653 by Hendrik Munnichhoven. The picture is filled with symbolic details: Magnus Gabriel is standing lower than his wife because she is sister of the king; they holding hands is symbolizing fidelity, as is the dog; the bean in Maria Eufrosyne's hand is showing that she is pregnant. The painting is regarded as one of the finest from the early Swedish baroque era.In their orbit 8
