Description
"The happy days"

Inspired by a kickass music piece from the age of the Sun King, Louis XIV: [link]

CAUTION: Contains fiction.

In the foreground, the heir to the French throne, Monsieur le Dauphin, Louis Francois de Bourbon, the oldest son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, in the age of 19, shortly before the outbreak of the Turmoil of the Revolution that swept away one of the most magnificent courts Europe has ever known. The Dauphin happens to be my rpg character and I'm damn proud of him *sob sob* Until now, there was no picture in my gallery, that'd tribute him in the way he deserves The ROYAL way.

Unlike his relatives, the Dauphin shows an "unhealthy" passion for uniforms. Here, he is wearing a Colonel's uniform of his infantry regiment- Regiment du Dauphin, blue sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit, (Spanish) Order of the Golden Fleece pinned to the lapel and scarlet sash of the Military Order of St. Louis.

As befits a princeling, he's spoilt( but just a biiiit xD ) and proud, additionally convinced of the divine nature of his dynasty's right to rule. Well mannered and courteous, especially for women, though he keeps most people, not excluding the mightiest of aristocrats at a distance (This trait he definitely shares with his Habsburg relatives).

The Dauphin is a throuroughly educated man, that knows most classical as well as enlightened authors. Understanding that France is in an urgent need for reforms, he is way more firm and determined than his father, Louis XVI. This may explain why he was more popular amongst the Parisian mob than the rest of the court (Though the Revolution soon changed this, as the Dauphin was ready to drown it in blood, claiming that the riots are a slap in the face for the monarchy).

In the background, the temple of love in the petit Trianon's park. Favourite servant, Orsino, is holding the reins of the Dauphin's horse. I added him (with a turkish-mamluke outfit) to show the splendour and eccentricity of the court of Versailles.

CAUTION 2:

Black servants were nothing unusual on royal and feudal courts. That was the reality of the XVIII century, so please be understanding.
