Weekend Reflections: Louis XVI

Louis XVI Pajou musée Lambinet Versailles
This bust of king Louis XVI by Augustin Pajou was given to the city of Versailles by the king in 1790 when things had turned rather sour for him and is kept at Lambinet Museum. The king was guillotined 222 years and two days ago. More Weekend Reflections are this way! So sorry for not being able to visit your blogs yesterday, VDP was out and about until...umm... rather late!

Ce buste de Louis XVI par Augustin Pajou a été donné à la ville de Versailles par le roi en 1790 quand le vent avait tourné et est conservé au Musée Lambinet. Cela fait 222 ans et deux jours que le roi a été exécuté. Pour plus de Reflets du Weekend, c'est par ici ! Mille excuses de n'avoir pu visiter vos blogs hier, la soirée fut longue !

    Nice bust, nice reflection. He reminds me of a Baptist preacher I once knew. So you were out having a good time, heh? Hmm...my imagination is working overtime!

    Never good to lose 'lose your head'... interesting that it was exactly 222 years and 2 days ago, wonder if it occurred at 22.00hrs too?!? That' a LOT of 2's(toos)

    I like the reflection in the first photo, but the perspective of the floor in the second one is even better!

    He looks like such a nice guy. I can't imagine why anyone would want to take his head off.

    Hope you enjoyed your hard partying!
