About the piece

Painted by Antoine-François Callet in 1778, this grand-scale portrait depicts King Louis XVI of France in his majestic coronation robes. The composition emphasizes royal power through the meticulous rendering of fleur-de-lis embroidered velvet, ermine fur, and the Crown of Louis XV resting on a nearby cushion, all set against a dramatic backdrop of heavy blue drapery.
