Palace of Versailles
Versailles, France
The portrait, commissioned by Louis XIV from Hyacinthe Rigaud, was intended to be kept in the Palace of Versailles. Philippe V wears a black satin costume with a sword at his side; he wears the rigid white Spanish collar; his hand is laid on the crown of Spain; he wears the blue sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit and the Habsburg Order of the Golden Fleece: this coming together of the two principal orders of France and Spain announced the possibility of a union between the two crowns.
