About the work
Charles X Gustav, King of Sweden, tried to conquer the coastal areas of the Baltic Sea during the Nordic War, thereby endangering the Dutch Republic’s trading position. Jan Zoet described the king as a man who tried to fill his barrel with more power, as it were, through deception. Partly due to the Republic’s intervention, the barrel fell apart.
