PORTRAIT OF A NEWLY BORN Circle of the Beaubruns, French school, 17th century. It could be Louis XIV. In the 17th century it was still customary to swaddle infants so tightly that they looked like little mummies. It served not only to keep them calm but also to shape their body and prevent malformations of the legs. This practice continued until the end of the 18th century.
