About the piece
Painted around 1780 by court artist Antoine-François Callet, this portrait captures King Louis XVI in full regal splendor. Draped in an ermine-lined fleur-de-lis robe and wearing the Order of the Holy Spirit, the monarch is depicted with the formal dignity characteristic of the French Bourbon court. The work showcases masterful handling of velvet, lace, and royal regalia, reflecting the opulence of the era.
