EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a rare and intimate moment in the life of Duke of Berry, French Dauphin, future king Louis XVI (1754-1793). In the image, we see the young prince ploughing alongside the duke of Lavauguyon, with his brothers - the count of Provence and count of Artois - standing proudly behind him.
The scene is both humbling and powerful, showcasing a future king engaging in manual labor alongside his companions. It speaks to a time when royalty was not just about luxury and privilege, but also about hard work and dedication to their people.
The detailed engraving beautifully portrays the elegance and grace of these royal figures, dressed in elaborate 18th-century attire. The expressions on their faces hint at camaraderie and unity among siblings who would go on to play significant roles in shaping French history.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the complexities of monarchy - where duty and tradition often clashed with personal desires. It offers us a glimpse into a world long gone by, yet still holds relevance today as we reflect on power dynamics within ruling families.
Overall, this print serves as a poignant reminder that even kings were once young men with dreams and aspirations beyond their royal titles.
