Youth Painting of Provence wasn't the count at all...

I removed the youth portrait which was set as one of the count the Provence by Maurice Quentin de La Tour. But it isn't and rather a painting of the future Louis XVI. as a child. https://www.kunst-fuer-alle.de/english/fine-art/artist/image/maurice-quentin-de-la-tour/17118/1/114992/louis-xvi,-king-o-france---la-tour--1765/index.htm See also my example from my French biography:: http://orig08.deviantart.net/7b96/f/2016/228/5/6/13989440_10153907207558403_1599895194_n_by_redpassion-dae4fm9.jpg Louis XVI. by Jean-Christian Petitfils http://orig09.deviantart.net/6e9a/f/2016/228/3/2/hgrh_by_redpassion-dae4ftr.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarice (talk • contribs) 20:07, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Louis's wife

Moved from Help talk:Template

The page for LOUIS XVIII is protected and therefore can not be edited. This page alleges that Louis XVIII, did not live his wife. The sources it quotes are highly debated as Louis XVIII HIMSELF wrote in his own words (after she died), that he lived her very much. You can see an image of the letters he wrote to his friend the Duke D’Avray (who was on his deathbed when they were sent) on the wiki page for Marie-Josephine Louise de Savoy Comtesse de Provence (under the section death). If you want to protect the Louis XVIII page, at least put the image in the text. The letters are in the public domain and both the English Translations and their French originals are on google for free. Here’s a link to the wiki page with image of letters in English (look for it in section titled death). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Joséphine_of_Savoy EvaJehanne (talk) 17:28, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Do you think we should make the images of Louis XV, Louis XVI, Louis XVIII, and Charles X them in normal attire instead there coronation robes? Just a question--Orson1234 (talk) 06:49, 22 October 2021
