"Björneborgarnas Marsch" - (English: March of the Björneborgers) A Swedish military march from the 18th century by unknown composer. The march is used in Finland since 1918 and is known as Porilaisten Marssi. The Finnish-Swedish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg used the march to write this text which is included in the poems of Fänrik Ståls Sägner. The text was later translated to Finnish amongst other languages. The painting depicts Georg Carl von Döbeln, a Swedish General known for his efforts in the Finnish War of 1808-1809.
