A full-length oil portrait of King Louis XIV, attributed to Jean-Hyacinthe Rigaud, is displayed vertically within an ornate, wide, gold-leafed frame. The king, depicted standing with his head turned slightly left, wears a large dark wig, a white lace cravat, and elaborate coronation robes consisting of a light blue silk garment, a blue sash, and an extensive white ermine-lined cloak patterned with gold fleur-de-lis. He holds a scepter in his right hand and has a sword hilt visible at his left hip. His lower body is clad in light blue stockings and red-heeled shoes. To his left, a gold crown rests upon a blue cushion next to a gold orb. The background features draped red fabric and architectural elements. The framed painting is mounted on a wall covered in a deep red damask fabric, which exhibits a complex repeating pattern. Above the painting, a portion of an intricately gilded ceiling frieze or molding is visible. Below the painting, a dark, veined marble mantelpiece or console shelf is present. This scene is located within the Palace of Versailles (Château de Versailles) in Versailles, France, likely in one of the State Apartments, such as the King's Bedchamber.
