Still life

This work was created in 1951 during the last years of Frida Kahlo's life. Kahlo said she did many still life paintings because they were easier to create due her health challenges.

Parrot

Frida Kahlo is known for her many self-portraits with animals, but in this painting the parrot stands alone among the fruit.

Mexican flag

Kahlo has become one of Mexico's most well-known artists. She often makes references to her home country within her paintings, such as with this Mexican flag.

Fruit

Many of Frida Kahlo's artworks feature fruit, including famous paintings like 'Viva la vida', 'Still Life with Watermelons', and more.

The red feathered hat

This tapestry represents Louis XIV’s visit to the Gobelins' manufacture. The king is easily recognisable by his red feathered hat.

Silverware

Here we can see people carrying the silverware created for Louis XIV by the goldsmiths of Les Gobelins and the Louvre.

Vase

This richly decorated vase may be the great dragon vase, delivered by the goldsmith Alexis Loir in 1683.

Duke of Orleans

Louis XIV is standing next to his brother Philippe, Duke of Orleans. But who is that peeking through?
