EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Regal Silhouette of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France (1755-1793) Marie Antoinette, the legendary queen of France and the last queen of the ancient regime, is immortalized in this silhouette portrait. Dating back to 1904, this image offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the royal past, capturing the essence of the 18th century's most enigmatic monarch. The silhouette format, popular during this era, accentuates the profile of the subject, revealing the delicate features and regal bearing of Marie Antoinette. Her elaborate hairstyle, adorned with pearls and feathers, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French court. The delicate lace collar and the intricate neckline of her gown further emphasize her refined elegance. Marie Antoinette, born in 1755, was the Archduchess of Austria before her marriage to King Louis XVI of France in 1770. Her reign was marked by extravagance, scandal, and ultimately, revolution. This silhouette, however, offers a moment of tranquility and beauty, a reminder of the queen's youth and grace before the tumultuous events that would shape her legacy. The silhouette's timeless appeal and the allure of the 18th century's royal history make this image an invaluable addition to any collection of historical portraits or art. This evocative silhouette of Marie Antoinette, the queen of France, invites us to explore the rich tapestry of history and the enduring fascination with the lives of the royalty of the past.
