About the piece
This stately oil painting, attributed to the school of Louis-Michel van Loo, depicts King Louis XV of France in magnificent court dress. Clad in a richly embroidered blue velvet coat and the sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit, the King is positioned among the symbols of his reign, including the royal crown and fleur-de-lis robes. The composition is framed by dramatic crimson drapery and a soft, atmospheric sky, epitomizing the grandeur of French Rococo portraiture.
