The image depicts a white marble bust of Louis XVI by Jean-Antoine Houdon, positioned centrally on a light gray pedestal in a museum gallery. The bust shows a male figure with a powdered wig, formal attire including a cravat, coat, and draped fabric, adorned with a medal and an embroidered star. The subject faces slightly left, with a neutral expression. A label on the pedestal identifies the artist and subject. Four individuals are present in the room. To the left, a person in a red coat stands facing a glass display case, with another person in a brown jacket and orange hood partially visible behind them. A fourth individual, partially obscured by the bust, is walking towards the right in the background. The gallery features light-colored walls with vertical lines and visible surface distress. Two framed oil landscape paintings, each with ornate golden frames, hang on the wall to the right of the bust. The floor is constructed of polished wooden parquet laid in a geometric pattern. The scene is located in a gallery within the Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France.
