Memorieprent met portret van Marie-Antoinette after 1793

This print by Lambertus Antonius Claessens, created after 1793, portrays Marie Antoinette in a somber, almost mournful manner. The image shows her profile, veiled in a black shroud, set within a circular frame. This symbolic portrayal of the Queen of France, executed during the French Revolution, evokes sympathy for her tragic fate. The inscription below the portrait "O CENDRES QUE J'ADORE..." emphasizes the emotional weight of the piece, hinting at the lasting impact of her death.
