This pastel portrait of Louis XV by Maurice Quentin de La Tour is a fine example of French Rococo portraiture. La Tour was known for his striking use of pastel, which lends a soft, delicate quality to his subjects, as seen in the King's white wig and the subtle shading of his face. The close-cropped composition and the King's direct gaze convey a sense of intimacy and authority.
