This 1793 print by G.N. Angelo, a Danish artist, depicts a medallion portrait of King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and their son Louis XVII. The image is presented in a circular frame with an inscription in French. This artwork is a poignant example of the impact of the French Revolution on art, memorializing the tragic fate of the French monarchy. The intimate scale of the piece, measuring only 93 mm in height and 184 mm in width, suggests a personal and private connection to the subject matter. The print is currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
