This 1787 marble relief portrait of Louis XVI, King of France, was created by Philippe Laurent Roland. It is a fine example of neoclassical portraiture. The work is a roundel, set within a green marble frame, with gilded accents and floral motifs. Roland's portrait captures the King's likeness with a sense of formality and dignity, typical of royal portraiture of the era. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
