Original – Louis XVI was the king of France between 1774 and 1792. He was toppled in the French Revolution and later executed by guillotine. He was "the only King of France ever to be executed, and his death brought an end to more than a thousand years of continuous French monarchy."

Reason

There are several scans of this painting, but this one has the highest resolution and seems to be the closest to the original colors (since its from the Google Art Project).
