Louis XV

Jean Daullé after Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne II

National Gallery of Art

The image is an engraving featuring a half-length portrait of a man in formal attire. He is positioned elegantly, looking slightly to his left. The man has distinct facial features such as a well-defined nose, prominent eyebrows, and full lips, with his eyes facing forward. His hair is styled in curls that frame his face and extend towards the back. He is wearing decorated armor with intricate detailing and a sash across his chest, along with a ruffled cravat around his neck. The background shows a clear sky with some clouds, and the image is framed within an ornate oval border bearing the inscription "Louis XV."
