First topic message reminder :

Here is a picture I found on Anna Amber's site, along with some interesting information.http://vivelareine.tumblr.com/post/11584753502

Portrait of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France (1755-1793), three-quarter-length, seated, at the Conciergerie, Paris, in mourning, with a cameo pendant portraying the Dauphin, holding a life of Mary, Queen of Scots, a bust of Louis XVI and the Testament of 23 December 1792 on the draped table beside inscribed ‘HIS.DE LA.M. DE STUAR[T]’ (lower centre, on the book)

I never knew she was reading a book about Mary Queen of Scots. Exclamation

This is an engraving dating to 1847. It shows Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, Marie Therese Charlotte, Louis Charles, and Madame Elisabeth walking in the courtyard on the Temple Prison in 1792.

Did I mention it's in my collection? Because it is and I'm very fond of it, I just have to get a frame to properly display it! Very Happy
