Here's an additional image for use here. Stephen Ewen 22:41, 30 October 2007 (CDT)

Yuck. I like the current one! --Robert W King 22:42, 30 October 2007 (CDT)
Yea, me too by far; but I think he is younger in this one. Of course, they painted these guys to be ever-young and ever-flawless back then, so I'll leave that to someone who knows about ol' Louie. :-) Stephen Ewen 22:48, 30 October 2007 (CDT)
Come on Stephen--you know that's a total non-issue. In terms of quality, I think you know which image to choose. --Robert W King 22:50, 30 October 2007 (CDT)
Ironically, I find the frame of the painting most fascinating. Dunno why. Stephen Ewen 22:57, 30 October 2007 (CDT)
Louis XIV in the color painting is depicted quite "extravagantly" and I suspect that particular frame was intended to coordinate with this theme! --Robert W King 22:59, 30 October 2007 (CDT)

Cropped version

Stephen I'll do you one better and remove the glare, brighten the colors ;). --Robert W King 12:40, 31 October 2007 (CDT)
