This print showcases a mesmerizing portrait of a lady, elegantly dressed as a vestal virgin. The subject is said to be none other than Marie-Antoinette, the iconic and ill-fated last Queen of France before the French Revolution. Painted by Jacques-Fabien Gautier d'Agoty or an artist from his circle, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides in a private collection. Marie-Antoinette was born into royalty as an Archduchess of Austria and was the fifteenth child of Empress Maria Theresa and Francis I.

In this portrait, Marie-Antoinette exudes regality and poise while adorned in her vestal virgin attire. The full-length composition captures her beauty and grace, emphasizing her status as queen.
