The Infante Carlos María of Bourbon with Drum and Tambourine is a 1796 oil by Antonio Carnicero, depicting Louis Xiv of France, held at Museo del Prado.
This painting shows a young boy standing in front of a red and gold chair. He's wearing a pink outfit with a white sash and a blue ribbon across his chest. In his right hand, he holds a drumstick, and to his left, there's a drum and a tambourine on the floor. The boy has long, curly hair and is looking straight ahead. The boy's clothing and the chair suggest a formal setting, possibly a royal portrait. The drum and tambourine add a playful touch to the scene.
