“Reminiscences.”
A portrait in the style of the 18th Century depicting Queen Marie-Antoinette of France with two of her four children (only two survived the beginning of the Revolution); Marie-Thérèse Charlotte, or Madame Royale was the only one of the four who survived into adulthood, her youngest brother, Louis-Charles, the Dauphin (after his elder brother died in 1789) having died in the Temple Prison from neglect and abuse.
Surrounding mother and children are mementos of Marie-Antoinette's life at Versailles. Along the left are hangings from the Cabinet de la Méridienne, which is currently being restored to how it looked in 1789. Along the right, filling the back-ground is the Petit Trianon which was her escape from the rigid protocol of the Court of Versailles. At the bottom right-hand corner, a table with a basket of oranges scattered with orange blossoms which was one of the fruits that the Queen had planted in the grounds of Versailles. Lastly, at the top right-hand corner is the Queen's cypher bordered with flowers.
I had a lot of fun with this one. ^_^

soirée nuageuse ☁️ 🕰️ vue du pavillon de l’Horloge dans la Cour Carrée du Louvre. Nom donné car il y a tout simplement une horloge. Sur les quatre entrées de la Cour Carrée c’est la plus majestueuse ;) 🎠 c’est une copie d’une statue équestre de Louis XIV. L’original se trouve au Château de Versailles et il y a une autre copie dans le parc de ce château :) #chateaudeversailles #louvreanecdotes #museedulouvre #louis14 #louisxiv #night #picoftheday #night #paris #visites #anecdotes #art #culture #architecturelovers #courcarree #visiteslouvre #architecture #icart #lecompteestintercatifyoupi (à Cour Carrée) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpgAENAsiKs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
