The king gives orders while he is in sight of the priory of Lille.
This scene is located in August 1667.
This oil on canvas is made by an anonymous painter, in the 17th century, under the reign of Louis XIV, as was very often the case, to decorate a castle and honor the king.
This is a reduced format of Adam Van der MEULEN’s painting, which is part of the collections of the Louvre Museum.
These works depicting King Louis XIV in weapons or portraits of himself or his family, were very often royal gifts intended for deserving nobles.
It could also be direct commissions from the nobility to decorate their castle in a prestigious way.
This painting is "in its juice", as I discovered it.
It was brought back and restored in the 19th century and placed on a quality key frame.
To report usures, a small missing scale and some old repaints, nothing abnormal for a table of nearly 350 years.
It can be hung as is.
