Still life with horses and bronze guy on pedestal

(What, me provincial?)

New info from Ylva: The bronze guy is Birger Jarl — Birger Magnusson of Bjälbo — who
was an elected king. He founded Stockholm and kept Sweden from splitting apart when it was
at risk of breaking up into factions. (More information here [English version])
