From the "Memoirs of the Comtesse Du Barry""Louis XV was excessively timid: with an air which appeared of a dreadnaught quality, he was fearful at heart.The clamors of Versailles kept him in alarm; and he kept at his own court and at foreign courts secret agents, whose only care was to report to him the complaints of the people and the sarcasms and satires of society."

I would never dare to comment on our Sovereign: the King is not a subject:)But I like to give emphasis to his portrait, one of these wonderful paintings from Quentin de La Tour, the best pastellist of our times!
