About the piece
Attributed to an anonymous 18th-century artist, this formal portrait depicts King Louis XV of France. The monarch is shown in full armor, symbolizing his military role, draped in a rich blue velvet mantle lined with ermine and embroidered with golden fleurs-de-lis. The composition is balanced by a plumed helmet on a velvet-covered table and a crown resting on a cushion in the foreground.
