Saint Louis Bringing the Holy Crown to Paris 

"Saint Louis Bringing the Holy Crown to Paris" is a watercolor painting by William Bouguereau, a renowned French academic painter. The scene depicts a procession of figures, including Saint Louis, carrying a crown under a red canopy. This historically inspired artwork showcases Bouguereau's meticulous detail and realistic style, which was characteristic of the academic art movement. While the exact date of the piece is unknown, it likely dates from Bouguereau's prolific career, which spanned from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. The painting's small size, measuring 18 x 27.6 cm, suggests it may have been a study or sketch for a larger work.
