Official portrait of King Louis XV of France (1710–44) dressed in medieval armor and covered with a fleur-de-lis cape lined with a layer of ermine fur, just like the one worn by Saint Louis.
The original was painted by Charles-André van Loo and copied by the workshop of the King's Buildings (Bâtiments du roi) in Versailles from 1750 to 1762. In 1760, Louis-Michel van Loo painted another portrait of the king which in turn was used as a model.
