RIGAUD Hyacinthe (School of) 1659 - 1743 Full-length portrait of Louis XIV, wearing a long wig à la Binet, his right hand resting on his fleur-de-lys staff. The king is wearing a simple bib over his buff-colored justaucorps, the cuffs trimmed with silver thread. He wears the great blue cordon of the Order of the Holy Spirit, parts of whose plaque can be seen near the leotard. His staff rests on the top of a beautifully carved console, next to a fleur-de-lys ornament. His gloved left hand rests against his hip, next to his large white scarf as head of the army. In the background on the right, we can see the walls of a fortified city, bordered by a stream. Oil on canvas (Re-staining; some restorations) H. 48 - L. 32.5 cm Carved and gilded wood frame in the Louis XIV style, decorated with flowers (missing in the upper right corner and on the side). The portrait is a reduction of the bust from the king's oval portrait painted by Rigaud around 1694, a repetition of which is in the Dulwich Picture Gallery (London), and the general attitude from the large full-length portrait in the Prado Museum. The fortified town visible in the background, surmounted on the left by an ancient fortress, may correspond, succinctly sketched, to the town of Namur, which Louis XIV, assisted by Vauban, had just taken in 1692 (Cf. Stephan Perreau, 2013 - p.112). General bibliography on the two portraits cited, their repetitions and copies: 1 - A. Stéphan Perreau, Hyacinthe Rigaud.
