EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving captures a whimsical moment in the life of Louis XVIII, King of France. Depicted playing billiards with a look of concentration on his face, Louis XVIII appears relaxed and at ease in this satirical drawing by Albert Robida.
The intricate details in the engraving bring to life the historical figure of Louis XVIII, known for his reign during a tumultuous period in French history. The inclusion of billiards adds a playful touch to the image, showcasing a different side to the king often portrayed in more formal settings.
Robida's skill as an engraver is evident in the fine lines and shading that give depth and dimension to the scene. The use of colour enhances the overall composition, making it visually striking and engaging for viewers.
Through this artwork, we are transported back to 19th century France, where politics and leisure intertwined in unexpected ways. This humorous depiction offers a glimpse into the personality of Louis XVIII and invites us to imagine what it might have been like to challenge him to a game of billiards.
Overall, this coloured engraving is not only a historical artifact but also a delightful piece of art that captures both the essence of its subject and the spirit of its time.
