The original painting, which used to hang in the Salon d'Apollon (Throne Room) in Versailles, is now in the Louvre.
A replica, also signed by Rigaud, can be seen in Versailles.
Edelinck's engraving (in reverse) of Le Brun's Tent of Darius shows the original borders of the painting, before it was cut down for installation in Versailles.

After spending some time in the Louvre, Le Brun's painting returned to Versailles in 1934 and now hangs again in the Salon de Mars
A copy of Le Brun's painting, executed in 1665 by Henri Testelin, is currently used to decorate the ceiling of the Antichambre du Grand Couvert (part of the Queen's Suite). 
Chasteau's 1680 engraving of Poussin's La Manne reproduces the painting in reverse.
