Description

Biscuit sculpture depicting Marie Antoinette (1755-1793), the Austrian arch-duchess who would become the wife of King Louis XVI and the last queen of France.
His face is turned slightly to the right. Her headdress made of curls and braid is completed by a ribbon, a string of pearls and a tiara. On the latter, a fleur-de-lis recalls the rank of the young woman with a tragic destiny, while, moreover, the queen is represented without jewels, with simplicity.
Her shoulders are covered by a fabric, tied naturally on her chest, and leaving a lace underside slightly visible.
This bust rests on a truncated column, in the style of Louis XVI, with rudent fluting, and decorated on the front with a laurel wreath.
This humble work ends with a square terrace.
Everyone will feel empathy or admiration for the woman, the mother or the queen that was Marie Antoinette and who, incontestably, will remain an emblematic figure in the history of France.
