Leonard Klinckowström, ca 1740

Leonard Klinckowström (1685-1759) were one of the shareholders of the first octroy of the Swedish East India Company in 1731-46, to which period this plate dates, as was Major Maurice Klinckowström.

Leonard Klinckowström is still regarded as the most likely to have ordered this plate, since he as the more notable of the two also came to be involved in the founding of the second octroy (1746-66) of the Swedish East India Company.
