I used the painted portrait in editing the earlier article because it is in color, is used at the top of French Wikipedia article, and shows him at his peak of his reign. The current photo comes from the end of his reign and makes him look old and asleep. I think the photo is acceptable, but I still wish we had a more sympathetic color portrait in the lead.Respectfully,SiefkinDR (talk) 11:19, 12 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
I do see your point. Most of his better quality photo portraits are for from later in his reign, thus he looks older and more tired (as he was in poor health the last years of his reign). But, I think photos (if available) should be used instead of portrait paintings. Photos give a more real representation of the subject. Robertus Pius (Talk • Contribs)23:30, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is a complete overload of photos and images that do not show him but other persons or places. I am removing these images, they are all are mentioned in the text already. On the other hand an important painting such as the reception of the Siamese ambassadors is completely missing. Gryffindor (talk) 14:23, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
