Konung Karl XI:s uppfostran. Allegori is a 1668 oil by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl, a Flemish Baroque painting work, held at Nationalmuseum.
This painting depicts a woman in a gold dress and a man in a blue robe, standing in front of a columned building. The woman is holding a small object and looking at the man, who is holding a plant with a crown on top. The woman has wings and a halo, suggesting she might be an angel or a goddess. The man is looking up at her with a serious expression. The background is a landscape with trees and a cloudy sky. The painting is rich in detail and color, with intricate textures and patterns on the clothing and architecture. It appears to be an allegorical scene, possibly representing the education of a king.
