About the piece
This 1783 portrait depicts Queen Marie Antoinette in a 'gaulle' or muslin gown, a style that famously caused a scandal for its perceived informality. Shown holding a rose against a dark, atmospheric background, the work emphasizes the luminosity of the fabric and the sitter's gentle expression, reflecting the refined Rococo aesthetic of the French court.
