This pastel drawing by Maurice Quentin de La Tour, titled "Préparation for a Portrait of Louis XV," is a preparatory study for a larger portrait of the French King Louis XV. It's a close-up of the king's face, capturing his likeness with remarkable detail and precision. The soft, delicate strokes of pastel create a sense of realism and evoke the king's presence. This artwork, dated 1745, is a testament to La Tour's mastery of pastel portraiture, showcasing his ability to convey both the king's regal bearing and his individual personality.
