Absolutely breath-taking. And such a classic feel to it as well! LeBrun is fantastic... but you, my dear, in your own style are more than her equal. ^_^ I do ever want that dress.

That is exquisite!! I am particuarly impressed that you are acquainted with the Neo-classical style. And Mary Antionette.
But I love the colors and her left hand looks really, really good. And I like the birdie, it's a very nice touch. Definently a fav.

It may be tiny, but this painting packs a lovely punch! 
I wonder what being the court painter to Antoinette would've been like. Do you think Mary was super-picky about how she was depicted?

I remember studying about her in Art History! Yeah, she was friends with Marie and tried to clear her name after the diamond necklace incident. :B

Oh I don't know much about that. I was just glad to hear to got away to Russia and did portraits there during the revolution. The museum in Minneapolis has one of her paintings.

Cool! Yeah, I wrote an essay about it once, but I've forgotten just about everything now. Except that Marie was accused of giving sexual favors in exchange for a diamond necklace, but it was almost definitely a big hoax.
