Portret van Lodewijk XV van Frankrijk 1776 - 1787

This engraving by Nicolas Dupin depicts Louis XV of France, the last of the French Bourbon monarchs to rule before the Revolution. Dupin (1753-1789), a notable French engraver of his time, skillfully portrays Louis XV standing confidently in a room of his palace. The King is dressed in rich attire, and he leans on a cane. In the background, an elaborately decorated table draped in rich fabrics is partially obscured. The engraving captures the majesty and elegance of the French monarchy. This 18th century work is a testament to the artist's skill and a powerful representation of the opulence of French royalty before the French Revolution.
