EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the portrait of Louis XVI and the dolphin, drawn by the renowned artist Jacques Louis David in 1793. The artwork is housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this intriguing image, we see a glimpse into daily life during the 18th century as depicted by David's skilled hand. The focus lies on Louis XVI, who was both prince and king of France during his tumultuous reign from 1754 to 1793. His son, Louis XVII (1785-1795), also makes an appearance in this composition. The drawing portrays a moment of quiet contemplation as Louis XVI sits engrossed in reading an open book. This scene not only highlights his intellectual pursuits but also emphasizes education and knowledge as essential aspects of royal life. David's attention to detail is evident through his masterful strokes that bring out every nuance of expression on the king's face. Through this study, he captures both the regality and vulnerability inherent within royalty. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported back in time to witness a significant historical figure immersed in scholarly pursuits. It serves as a testament to David's artistic brilliance while offering us a window into French history at its most pivotal moments.
