Reine, l'excés des maux où la France est livrée... 1825

This lithograph, titled "Reine, l'excés des maux où la France est livrée..." (Queen, the excess of evils to which France is delivered...), was created by Horace Vernet in 1825. The artwork depicts a scene from French history with a queen seated on a throne, her face filled with sorrow, while two men stand before her, likely dignitaries or advisors. The scene, captured with a powerful sense of drama, conveys a moment of hardship and uncertainty, possibly reflecting the political turmoil in France during the time. Vernet, a prominent French artist of the 19th century, was renowned for his historical and military scenes, making this piece a prime example of his artistic style.
