HIS NIBS

Playing king and lording over his band of friends is le Roi des Moutards. The painting is the work of Orléans native, Alexandre Antigna (1817-1878) and hangs in the city's Musée des Beaux Arts.

Vocabulary
un moutard:  a kid
son altesse, sa majesté:  his nibs (here in the sense of a self-important person)
