- Jacob Christoph Le Blon, after Nicholas Blakey, Louix XV, roi de France, 1739. Apparently Le Blon added brown, black, and white plates to this impression; in other pictures those colors were often added by hand. The creation of this image, like that of a comparable portrait of George I, was probably connected to Le Blon's receipt of special privileges in both England and France.
