This print shows Louis XIV on stage during a famous 1681 ballet called *The Triumph of Love*. Jacques Le Pautre made it as a colored engraving in the late 1600s. The outfit is wild: a dark-blue tunic over red pants, metal face-plates on his chest and knees, and tall feathers in his hat. Want to see more stage prints like this?
