"Louis XV as Dauphin" is a pastel portrait by the Italian Rococo artist Rosalba Carriera, created in the early 18th century. The artwork depicts Louis XV of France as the Dauphin, which is the title given to the heir apparent to the French throne. At the time of the portrait, Louis XV was not yet king, but as the great-grandson of Louis XIV, he was next in line for the monarchy following the death of his predecessor, Louis, le Petit Dauphin.

Rosalba Carriera (1673–1757) was renowned for her pastel technique and her role in popularizing this medium across Europe. She was one of the most celebrated portraitists of her time, known for her soft, delicate approach and her ability to capture the nuances of her sitters' characters. Carriera's work was highly sought after by the aristocracy, and she was a member of the prestigious Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in Paris.

The portrait of Louis XV is notable for its luminous quality and the tender representation of the young Dauphin, who would later ascend to the throne at the age of five following the death of his great-grandfather and his interim regent. The artwork exemplifies Carriera's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the softness of skin, as well as her adept use of light and shadow to create a sense of three-dimensionality.

"Louis XV as Dauphin" is an important work within Carriera's oeuvre and the broader context of royal portraiture, as it captures a significant historical figure at a formative moment in his life. The portrait remains a testament to the artist's mastery of pastel and her influential role in the art of the 18th century.
