Portrait of Louis XIV (1638-1715), king of France and Navarra. A slightly smaller than life-size portrait of Louis XIV in patinated bronze, on red-lactated square feet. The face is slightly turned to the right (heraldic left). The frost carries a contemporary and impressive 'in folio' wig, and an all'antica kuras in Roman style, with half visible from behind the drapery the radiant sun - referring to Apollo - as the monarchal logo of the sun king. Two rows of lambrequins and a pleated sleeve are visible at the arms. On the Lambrequins are engraved Fleurs-de-Lys. On the right shoulder, the drapery that acts as a chest cut masking is retained with a rosette-shaped button. The back of the bust is open, with the exception of the back of the head. The whole shows a high degree of finish and detailed detail, which demonstrates that the bronze has been modeled very carefully and has been scilated after casting.
