Trudon Louis XVI Buste Blue

Chin up, proud bust, contemptuous attitude. Girardon cast the king on horseback at seven metres and put him in the middle of Place Vendôme, where he stood until the Revolution pulled him down.

Trudon make him again in wax, at a size that fits a shelf, in blue. He is a candle, so the intention is that you burn him, which is either irreverent or exactly the point depending on how you feel about monarchy.

Most people do not light them. That is allowed.
