Description
"No one has ever done reverence with such grace, being able to greet ten people with a single bow and giving each one, just with her head or her gaze, what he owed. To be honest, if you offer a chair to every common woman, you would have spontaneously offered her a throne"
Jacques-Pierre-Alexandre, conte di Tilly (1764 – 1816) about Marie Antoinette
This was based on the famous portrait i0.wp.com/beautyscenario.com/w…
I've never been able to redo things just by looking at them. I think I have improved since this one fav.me/daajux7
I'm in the mood of experimenting new tools and styles!

You look to be entering the realms of digital painting with this piece; I truly feel that your art skills have 'levelled up', great work! You've shown the textures of the different materials really well in this painting- the pearls and hair piece are particularly good!

About a month ago, your lovely Marie Antoinette art inspired me to study pre-revolution France more in-depth, especially what daily life in the palace of Versailles was like. And though she was certainly not suffering in the same way the Third Estate peasants were, what I read made me feel sorry for her as she lead a rather ...uniquely difficult life.
Everything she did was in the public eye. Nobody living in that filthy palace could do anything without a crowd of spectators watching. They could hardly eat, give birth, or even have sex in private, which is disgusting and unimaginable-- some things are simply not meant to be a show for strangers! These people had no sense of boundaries, even to the point of where Marie Antoinette's menustration cycle (yuck!) was a popular discussion topic among both the nobility and commoners. For most of her life, she couldn't get a single hour to herself. What a horrible life to lead.

Ohhhhhh 
Thank you for this! You made my day. I cannot be more proud and honored, If my art somehow led you into the studies of Versailles daily life.
Everything you said is true: you cannot say Marie Antoinette was suffering from hunger or fatigue, but het story is indeed a story of sufferings. You cannot tell a person's happiness from his/her richness.
It's so sad that the common view about Marie Antoinette is the one divulged by the "hate pamphlets". She is seen as a femme fatale, promiscuous, proud of her role, stupid and cruel. It's just unfair. My mission, with my art, is trying to give her the compassion and the love she deserves.
Thank you for your words
Have a great day
