"The Duke of Enghien as the King of the Indians at the Carousel Performed for Louis XIV 1638-1715 in Front of the Tuileries, 5th June 1662" is a notable work by Israel Silvestre the Younger, a prominent French artist and engraver of the 17th century. This piece captures a grand event in the French court's history, showcasing the opulence and ceremonial splendor of the era under King Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. The artwork commemorates a carousel—a tournament or display of equestrian and military skills—held in front of the Tuileries Palace on June 5, 1662, an event that was part of the elaborate festivities and courtly entertainments that characterized Louis XIV's reign.

The subject of the work, the Duke of Enghien, is depicted in the guise of the "King of the Indians," a role that reflects the period's fascination with exoticism and the theatricality of courtly presentations. The Duke's portrayal in such elaborate and culturally themed attire speaks to the European imagination of the "other" during the 17th century, as well as to the luxury and extravagance that the French nobility displayed at public and private events.

Israel Silvestre the Younger, known for his detailed architectural and landscape engravings, captures not only the figures participating in the carousel but also the architectural backdrop of the Tuileries and the assembled spectators. His work provides a valuable visual record of the period's social and cultural life, offering insights into the practices of representation, power, and spectacle in the court of Louis XIV.

This engraving is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, documenting a specific event that exemplifies the grandeur of the French monarchy in the 17th century. It remains an important work for scholars studying the Baroque period, French history, and the cultural practices of European courts.
