EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Marie Antoinette, the infamous queen of France, was led to her execution on October 16,1793. The scene unfolds at Place de la Revolution (nowadays known as Place de la Concorde), where soldiers stand in the foreground, their eyes fixed on the unfolding tragedy. The perspective from behind allows us to witness this solemn procession with a sense of detachment and contemplation. The image is accompanied by a two-line caption in Dutch that reads "Place de la Concorde, Marie Antoinette". This adds an intriguing layer of historical context and suggests that this particular print may have been produced in Amsterdam in 1798 by Christiaan Josi, as mentioned on the object itself. Printed on paper using etching techniques, this artwork measures approximately 192 mm in height and 126 mm in width. It serves as a powerful reminder of one of history's most dramatic moments – a symbol not only of political upheaval but also human resilience and sacrifice
