"Portrait of Louis XVI" (1788) is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Antoine-François Callet (1741–1823), who served as a court painter to King Louis XVI. The portrait, measuring 271 cm by 193 cm, is a regal depiction of the monarch and is one of the most recognized representations of the king during the years leading up to the French Revolution.

In this grand portrait, Louis XVI is portrayed in full royal regalia, including his coronation robes, the blue sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit, and the cross of the Order of Saint Louis. His pose is dignified and reflects the formality of his position, with one hand resting on the throne and the other holding a command staff, symbolizing his authority as the ruler of France. The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the luxurious fabrics and the king's regal bearing.

Antoine-François Callet was known for his portraits of the French aristocracy and his ability to capture the opulence of the Ancien Régime. The "Portrait of Louis XVI" is considered one of his masterpieces and is a testament to his skill as a portraitist and his role in documenting the royal image during a tumultuous period in French history.

The painting is held in the collection of the Palace of Versailles, a fitting location given its historical significance and connection to the French monarchy. As an important cultural artifact, the portrait provides insight into the representation of power and the role of art in the political and social spheres of 18th-century France.
