Artist: Charles-clément Bervic
Full-length portrait of Louis XVI, depicted in three-quarter profile in his coronation regalia.
Louis XVI wears his long royal ermine-fur cloak adorned with fleurs-de-lis; in his right hand he holds the scepter, the hand of justice, and the crown, and he wears the sword at his belt (royal insignia, Regalia).
Inscribed with the words “Louis XVI, King of the French, Restorer of Liberty, presented to the King and the National Assembly”
Framed engraving under glass (antique glass) in an early 19th-century frame, created by Charles Clément Bervic (1756–1822), based on the famous painting by Antoine François Callet, known as Antoine Callet (1741–1823).
This engraving is considered one of Bervic’s masterpieces; a copy was notably presented to George Washington in 1791.
