So-called portrait of james fitzjames, 1st duke of berwick (1670-1734), but is probably a depiction of louis, grand dauphin (1661-1711)
identification proposed by user ecummenic (talk) based on the comparison with some portraits of the dauphin of france (see images below) and the lack of physical resemblance of the sitter of this portrait to other representations of the duke of berwick; the inscriptions at the top indicating that the model is james, duke of berwick were probably added posthumously. Object Type: painting. Genre: portrait. Date: 18th century. Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Alba · Private Collection [1]. Hyacinthe Rigaud - James Stuart Fitzjames, 1st Duke of Berwick
