Louis XVI, King of France

Antoine Louis Romanet after Joseph Siffred Duplessis

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man from the waist up. He is at a slight angle, facing left with a confident expression. His 18th-century style hair is powdered and parted on the side, with curls framing his face. He wears elaborate attire, including a high-collared coat, an ornate sash with a star, and a medallion on a necklace. The portrait is framed with a detailed border, and the background is dark.
