King Louis XVI of France, in Winter Costume 1776: A Regal Portrait of Power and Grandeur This handcoloured lithograph depicts King Louis XVI of France, dressed in his winter costume from the year 1776. The monarch is shown wearing the sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit, a prestigious and ancient French chivalric order, which adds an air of nobility and distinction to his appearance. Louis XVI is seen wearing a voluminous silk coat, adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery, and a fur-trimmed cape that exudes warmth and luxury. The king's cravat, expertly tied, complements the elegant lines of his high-waisted culottes and knee-high boots. The meticulous attention to detail in the lithograph, created by Le Bibliophile Jacob (Paul Lacroix) in 1852, highlights the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy during the late 18th century. The image of King Louis XVI, with his piercing gaze and regal posture, conveys the power and authority of the French monarch. The winter costume, with its rich fabrics and luxurious textures, serves as a testament to the wealth and splendor of the French court during this period. The handcoloured lithograph, a beautiful example of the artistic techniques of the time, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the French monarchy and the fashion trends of the late 18th century.
