About the piece
This 1825 portrait captures King Charles X of France in full coronation splendor, draped in an ermine-lined mantle adorned with the gold fleur-de-lis of the House of Bourbon. Standing against a classical architectural backdrop, the King is depicted with the French crown and sceptre, symbols of restored monarchical authority. The work is a masterclass in the representation of texture, from the delicate lace of the ruff to the heavy, jewel-encrusted velvet of his robes.
