Portret van Lodewijk de Heilige, koning van Frankrijk 1776 - 1824

This engraving by Johann Christian Ernst Müller depicts Louis IX, King of France, also known as Saint Louis, in a detailed portrait. Created between 1776 and 1824, the work showcases Saint Louis in an oval frame wearing a crown and ornate robes. The artist meticulously renders the king's facial features, conveying a sense of authority and piety. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to Müller's skill in capturing historical figures with precision and elegance. The inscription "Ludwig der Heilige, König von Frankreich" (Louis the Holy, King of France) further clarifies the subject and adds historical context to the work.
