EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Queen Marie Antoinette of France and two of her children strolling through the picturesque Park of Trianon in 1785. Painted by Adolf Ulrik Wertmuller, this exquisite artwork now resides in the collection of the Nationalmuseum Stockholm. The image transports us back to a time when France was on the brink of revolution, yet here we see a serene moment frozen in time. The queen, known for her opulent taste and extravagant lifestyle, is depicted with her children amidst nature's beauty. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers serve as a stark contrast to the impending turmoil that would soon engulf their lives. Marie Antoinette, an archduchess from Austria who married into French royalty, symbolizes both nobility and controversy.

It encapsulates an era where power
