1. Gustav II Adolf / King Gustaf II Adolf Marker
Den komplicerade bronsgjutningen, som utfördes först 1779 hos styckgjutaren Gerhard Meyer, misslyckades och ciselören Charles Adams arbetade länge med bättrings-arbeten innan statyn kom på plats 1791. Därefter återstod ytterligare fem års arbeten innan monumentet slutligen avtäcktes den 17 november 1796.
Gruppen vid sockeln föreställer Axel Oxenstierna dikterande Gustav Adolfs bragder för historiens musa Clio. Den är skulpterad av Johan Tobias Sergel (1740-1814), som var elev till L'Archevéque. Gipsmodellen var färdig 1789, men gruppen göts och sattes upp först 1906. Sergel har också utfört medaljongerna på sockeln sidor.

The complex bronze casting was not carried out until 1779. The casting process was not successful, and improvements needed to be carried out before the statue could be put into position in 1791. Another five years of work were then required before the monument could finally be unveiled on 17 November 1796.
The group on the plinth was sculpted by Johan Tobias Sergel (1740-1814), a student of L'Archeveque.
