This court patronage resulted in many other commissions, and he executed portrait-busts or full-lengths of most COYSEVOX. — BRONZE BUST OF LOUIS XIV. :Bron3C5t HDarblea, porcelain, etc» 243 of the celebrated men of his time. This bronze is said to be at least the equal of the marble in artistic merit, and is described in the official catalogue as " one of the finest extant portrait-busts of the Grand Monarque, who is represented in middle life, with a mien of characteristic arrogance and self-a...sser- tion. There is no portrait of the king, either at Versailles or in the Louvre, of precisely the same type, or so admirable in quality of the bronze as well as the breadth and finish of the execution. " As will be seen from the illustration, the pompous monarch is wearing his characteristic wig, the curls of which, as well as the delicate pattern of the lace scarf round his throat, are superbly represented. Equally fine is the workmanship of the armour with its unobtrusive decoration. One other bronze must not be overlooked.
