Portret van Marie Antoinette, koningin van Frankrijk 1796

This 1796 engraving by Carlo Antonio Porporati depicts Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, in a simple, elegant dress. The portrait is framed by an oval, giving it a formal and classic feel. The detail in her hands and the delicate lace on her bodice indicate the artist's skill. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, exemplifies the enduring interest in the tragic figure of Marie Antoinette, whose life was cut short during the French Revolution.
