About the piece
This magnificent 18th-century oil portrait by Hyacinthe Rigaud captures the young Louis XV. Dressed in ceremonial armor and draped in a lush ermine-lined blue velvet cloak adorned with the fleur-de-lis, the child king exudes a precocious dignity. The masterful rendering of textures—from the shimmering silk sash to the soft fur—makes this a quintessential example of French Baroque royal portraiture.
