Louis XVI

 
Louis XVI was the fifth monarch of the Bourbon dynasty. He was a curious, enigmatic man and quite unlike his predecessors. From his childhood, he lacked in self-esteem and was percieved to be quite a mild person. Perhaps these personal traits were to blame for the indecision in his reign which led to famine in France and eventually a revolution. After years of imprisonment in a mediavel fortress called the Temple, Louis XVI was beheaded in 1793.
 
I would like to use key elements of Louis' reign and encorporate them into a drawing(or maybe a series of drawings), establishing a kind of simple narrative.
