"Portrait of Louis XVI (1754–1793)" is an oil painting by French artist Joseph Siffrein Duplessis, created in 1775. It is one of the most recognized portraits of Louis XVI, King of France and Navarre, who reigned from 1774 until his deposition in 1792 during the French Revolution. The painting is notable for its depiction of the young monarch in regal attire, capturing the dignity and the burden of the crown in the years leading up to the tumultuous events that would ultimately lead to the end of the French monarchy.

Duplessis, born in 1725, was a celebrated portraitist in his time and became the official painter to Louis XVI. His skill in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters made him a favorite among the French nobility. In this portrait, Louis XVI is portrayed with a sense of realism and attention to detail that was characteristic of Duplessis' style. The king is shown in half-length, wearing luxurious garments that reflect his royal status, with the blue sash and the Order of the Holy Spirit prominently displayed.

The painting is a significant historical document, as it provides insight into the representation of French monarchy before the Revolution. It also reflects the artistic conventions of the late 18th century, with its refined brushwork, controlled palette, and the emphasis on the psychological presence of the sitter. The "Portrait of Louis XVI" by Duplessis is housed in the Palace of Versailles, a fitting location given its historical association with the French monarchy.

As an important work of art from the pre-revolutionary period, the portrait is not only a testament to Duplessis' talent but also serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of power and the shifting tides of history. It remains a subject of interest for art historians, scholars of the French Revolution, and the general public, offering a window into the past and the complex figure of Louis XVI.
