This is a portrait of Louis the Stammerer, King of France from 1633-1676, created by Jean Frosne (1623-1676). The engraving depicts Louis in a regal pose, wearing a crown and looking directly at the viewer. The artist uses delicate lines and shading to create a realistic representation of the king's features, highlighting his prominent beard and stern expression. The oval frame and inscription below add to the formal portraiture style common during the Baroque period. The artwork is a valuable historical document, capturing the likeness of an important figure from French history.
