Description
English: On July 27, 1696 a live albino squirrel was brought to Charles XI. The king was amused by the unusual animal and commissioned his court painter to paint it. Ehrenstrahl’s animal paintings often reflect the fascination of his times with the exotic or unusual—parrots and polar bears are interspersed with giant moose or malformed dogs. Thus not only royalty was eternalized by Ehrenstrahl’s brush. And so we now have this curious squirrel with its white coat and red eyes, eternally nibbling on a nut.
Svenska: Den 27 juli 1696 blev denna albinoekorre levande förd till Karl XI. Kungen roades och gav sin hovmålare i uppdrag att avbilda det ovanliga djuret. Ehrenstrahls djurmålningar speglar ofta tidens fascination för det exotiska eller avvikande – papegojor och isbjörnar varvas med gigantiska älgar eller missbildade hundar. Det var alltså inte bara kungligheter som förevigades av Ehrenstrahls pensel. Här sitter nu den kuriösa ekorren med sin vita päls och röda ögon och knaprar på en nöt i evigheten.
