This 1793-1813 etching by Jacob Willem Strunck (1766-1813) depicts a monument for Queen Marie Antoinette of France. The piece, which is only 112mm by 92mm, features a detailed, architectural design including classical columns and a sculpted bust of the queen. The central figure of Marie Antoinette in repose, surrounded by grieving figures and the symbols of royalty, highlights the artist's artistic talent and the tragic circumstances surrounding the French Queen. The engraving, a testament to the enduring legacy of Marie Antoinette, showcases the intricate details and mourning themes prevalent in Dutch engravings of the late 18th century.
