I saw him commemorating, at a Traditional Mass, the downfall of the last monarchs, and I posted to him on X that he should consecrate France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the failure to do which resulted in the downfall of the monarchy.

I'm not a real fan of absolute hereditary monarchy, but believe that there should be a Constitutional Catholic Monarch (Autocracy) where the Church maintained checks and balances, veto power over all legislation, as well as veto candidates who are unsuitable, etc.  Because it's absolute, there's nothing to prevent a wicked monarch like Henry VIII from taking an entire country into apostasy.  Because it's hereditary, you're not necessarily getting the best and most competent men.  There could be an election from a group of men who are screened by the Church, and then of course only men would vote, with men having as many "votes" as are members of his family.  There would be a reasonable term limit, say, 8 to 10 years, but the candidate could run again.

Not that it matters, but he does not look French enough to me.
I agree. Out of context. From his pics, he looks from south-America(?)

 in 1904 (as noted on the bottom right of the picture) at the Carmel de Lisieux as noted in the bottom left of the picture.
Imagine...gaining indulgences from just gazing at the picture and recalling the passion of Our Lord with compassion.
Learned something...Thank you.
So the Prayer has specific indulgences for the Holy Souls...great.

  But what about just looking at this image? Do the normal requirements to receive an Indulgence apply?  I was thinking: of First making the intention to receive the Indulgence ; Doing the devotion; Then saying some prayer for the Pope.

Att is that sketch signed by Pius X in 1901. Or Faceboo user got it wrong?

Pius X wasn't pope till 1903 and Celine didn't produce this picture till 1904.

I believe as long as you're in a state of grace, you've formed the intent to gain the indulgences and prayed for the Pope (most people do this with their morning prayers) you're good to go.  I form this opinion  after having researched EXTENSIVELY this picture, Celine and the Martin family, various books written by and about them and the life of Father Prevost from Montreal who was a friend of the Martins and the Postulator General for the cause of St Theresa as well as the person who presented the picture to Pope St Pius X and received the blessing and indulgence from him.
This picture is of course life size.
FYI this picture hangs in EVERY Carmelite convent.
Father Prevost promoted the Holy Face devotion in Canada as well as France.
