Princess Sibylla of Sweden by David Tägtström (oil on canvas, 1951)

The Dalarna artist David Tägtström wanted to capture the personalities of his models, rather than their social status. One trick he used was to let his models sit for so long that they stopped posing, and started to relax and just be themselves. "And then it is just a matter of painting," he said.

Princess Sibylla, the mother of our current king, gives an elegant and relaxed impression as she sits in a green silk dress with a fur stole over one shoulder. As a princess, she quickly became much loved by the people of Sweden, together with her daughters, the popular Haga Princesses.

The portrait can be seen in the East Guard's Hall of the Bernadotte Apartments at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.

Princess Sibylla of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (18 January 1908 – 28 November 1972) was a member of the Swedish royal family and the mother of the current King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf.

Born into the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Sibylla was the daughter of Charles Edward, the last duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. She became a Swedish princess when she married Prince Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Västerbotten in 1932. She thus had the prospect of one day becoming queen consort of Sweden, but the prince was killed in an airplane crash in 1947 and did not live to ascend the Swedish throne. Sibylla thus never became Crown Princess or Queen herself since her husband died before his father and his grandfather King Gustav V. Nor did she live to see her son become king of Sweden in 1973.
