About the piece
Painted around 1720 by Pierre Gobert, this portrait captures the young Louis XV of France. Clad in a luxurious red coat adorned with intricate gold embroidery and wearing the blue sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit, the young monarch is depicted with a quiet dignity that exemplifies the French Baroque style of the era.
