• Resumen

  • Louis XIV's ambitious and carefully orchestrated diplomatic programme included gifts of jewelled miniature portraits known as 'boîtes à portrait'. Using the 'Présents du Roi', the circumstances around the commissioning and creation of these precious objects can be explored and a possible recipient suggested for a well-preserved example now in the Musée du Louvre, Paris.
