Marie Antoinette, Reine de France: A Regal Portrait of the Iconic Queen This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Marie Antoinette, the renowned Queen of France during the late 18th century. The image, created by Charles Breton after a portrait housed in Versailles, is taken from Paul Lacroix's esteemed publication, 'Costumes Historiques de la France.' Marie Antoinette, born in 1755 in Vienna, Austria, was the last queen of the Bourbon monarchy in France. She married King Louis XVI in 1770, at the young age of 14, marking the beginning of a tumultuous reign. Known for her beauty, intelligence, and extravagance, Marie Antoinette became a symbol of the French monarchy's opulence and decadence. In this portrait, Marie Antoinette is depicted in the height of her regal splendour. She wears an elegant gown adorned with intricate floral patterns, a testament to the opulent fashion of the time. Her hair, styled in an elaborate updo, is adorned with pearls and diamonds, further emphasizing her royal status. Her expression is serene, yet her piercing gaze suggests a strong and determined woman. The backdrop of the portrait is the opulent Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, a fitting setting for a queen of such grandeur. The reflection of the queen in the mirrored walls amplifies the grandeur and elegance of the image. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of one of the most iconic figures in French history, a queen whose legacy continues to fascinate and inspire.
