This print, created by Dutch artist Lambertus Antonius Claessens after 1793, depicts a portrait of King Louis XVI of France. The artwork showcases a profile view of the King, set against a dark background, and framed within a decorative oval border. The image is surrounded by a decorative border, and features the inscription "IL SUT AIMER, SOUFFRIR ET PAKDONER" along with a skull and crossbones and a crown, symbolizing the death of the King. The print is a powerful reminder of the turbulent political climate of the late 18th century, serving as a visual testament to the legacy of the French Revolution.
