This portrait, titled "Portrait of Dauphin Louis, 1784" captures the innocence and potential of a young prince. Painted by Adolf Ulrich Wertmuller in oil on canvas, this exquisite print measures 46x37 cm and is now part of a private collection. The subject of this artwork is none other than Louis Joseph of France, the second child and first son of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Born in 1781, he was the heir apparent to the French throne during tumultuous times. In this half-length oval composition, Dauphin Louis appears as a cherubic boy with rosy cheeks and bright blue eyes. The artist skillfully portrays his youthful charm while hinting at the weighty responsibilities that lay ahead for him.
