This watercolor by Louis Boulanger depicts Louis XI, King of France, wearing his "Grand Costume" in 1460. The image, a historically-inspired costume design, shows the King standing beside a lectern. This illustration, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a beautiful example of the popularity of historical costume designs in the 19th century, where artists like Boulanger sought to capture the fashion of earlier eras.
