EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait is believed to depict Louis XVII, the lost king of France, born in 1785 and tragically passing away between 1785 and 1795. The exact creator of this image remains unknown, adding to the mystery surrounding the young prince. The painting is an oil on canvas, showcasing the boy in an oval-shaped frame, dressed in the fashion of the time. He wears a brown collarless jacket and long brown hair, which falls in soft waves over his shoulders. The direct gaze of the young prince, who appears to be looking straight at the viewer, adds an intriguing depth to the portrait. Louis XVII, also known as Louis Charles de Bourbon, was the last king of the Bourbon dynasty in France before the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. The portrait was likely created during his childhood, a time when his health was a concern due to the uncertainty surrounding his parentage and the potential impact of the French Revolution on the royal family. This historic artwork is now part of the collection at the Carnavalet Museum in Paris, one of the city's most renowned institutions for heritage art and historical treasures. The portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the mortality of even the most powerful figures in history and the enduring allure of the past.
