The Tansey Miniatures Foundation

Karl Gustav Klingstedt

After serving in the French and Swedish armies Klingstedt devoted himself entirely to arts from approximately 1689 onwards. He earned the nickname “Raphael of snuff boxes” and became very successful with his miniatures, which generally depicted gallant motifs. Jean-Marc Nattier painted a portrait of Klingstedt.
