Portrait of King Louis XIII of France

Frans Pourbus

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a young boy dressed in 17th-century attire. He wears a pink and gold doublet with puffy sleeves, a blue sash across his chest, and pink tights. A large white ruffled collar encircles his neck. His right hand rests on his hip, while his left hand grips a sword. Pink shoes adorn his feet. To his left stands a green and gold cabinet featuring gold accents. On top of the cabinet is a grey hat adorned with a gold brooch. The marble floor consists of square tiles in various colors and patterns. Behind the boy, a green curtain hangs from the top of the image, with a portion tied back to reveal a stone pillar.
