"Portrait of King Louis XIV of France, three-quarter-length" is a renowned oil painting by the French Baroque artist Hyacinthe Rigaud, completed in 1701. This grandiose and iconic portrait depicts Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, in his coronation robes, and is considered one of the most famous representations of absolute monarchy in the history of French art. The painting was originally commissioned by the king as a gift for his grandson, Philip V of Spain, but Louis was so pleased with the result that he kept the original and instead sent a copy to Spain.

The portrait is celebrated for its opulence and the meticulous detail with which Rigaud rendered the textures of the king's luxurious garments, including his ermine-lined cloak and the intricate embroidery of the Order of the Holy Spirit on his vest. Louis XIV is portrayed with a commanding presence, standing beside a coronation chair and draped curtain, which adds to the theatrical and majestic aura of the composition. The king's confident gaze and the naturalistic depiction of his aged features contrast with the timeless splendor of his attire, symbolizing both the personal power of the monarch and the enduring legacy of his reign.

Measuring 277 cm × 194 cm (109 in × 76 in), the painting is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris and remains a quintessential example of royal portraiture in the age of absolutism. Rigaud's masterpiece not only solidified his reputation as the leading portraitist of his time but also set a standard for representing the dignity and grandeur of the French monarchy, influencing subsequent generations of portrait artists. The "Portrait of King Louis XIV of France, three-quarter-length" is a testament to the splendor of the French court and a symbol of the political and cultural power wielded by Louis XIV during his long and transformative reign.
