Portrait by Vigée-Le Brun.

Marie Antoinette, queen of France.
Many more portraits after the cut.
I tried to put them in somewhat chronological order, and I think most of these are “first hand portraits” and not based on other portraits.

This was her mother’s favourite portrait. I don’t know the artist though.

I belive the Dupont portiat was by Francois the famous minature painter who also painted portraits 1755-1793 but I may be wrong.

I did a search for François and it’s the same person, I just didn’t know that was his last name :) His full name is apparently François Dumont, so thanks for the help!

The most famous portraits of the Queen are by Mme. Vigee-Lebrun, official court painter to Marie Antoinette during the 1780’s. I absolutely adore ‘Marie Antoinette and Her Children’. I saw two portraits in this lovely collection I had never seen before.

The painting of Marie Antoinette in red that was her mother’s favorite is Portrait of Marie Antoinette in hunting attire, by Joseph Krantzinger (1771), Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

do you know who painted the first painting in your row, the one she really looks young?
Johanna, johannaost.com
I’m afraid I don’t know who painted that one, sorry!
Aidan O Boyle
Its a miniature by Krantzinger after a portrait of Marie Antoinette aged thirteen and a half,taken in Vienna by the French pastellist Joseph Ducreux in 1769.
