This print captures the essence of Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron, duchesse de Polignac, also known as Princesse De Polignac. A woman of immense ambition and cunning, she was a prominent figure in French aristocracy during the 18th century.
As a close friend of Queen Marie Antoinette, Princesse De Polignac found herself entangled in the political turmoil that ultimately led to her tragic fate at the guillotine in 1793. Despite her noble status and connections, she was unable to escape the same destiny as many other victims of the French Revolution.

Through this historical photograph, we are reminded of the complexities and intrigues that surrounded figures like Princesse De Polignac during one of France's most turbulent periods. It serves as a poignant reminder of how even those with power and influence were not immune to the harsh realities of revolution and betrayal.
