DESCRIPTION: MARIE-ANTOINETTE: THE END OF AN EPOCH. Desperation, mourning and delusion for an epoch that ends in a tragic manner, that sees dying under the sharp and unmerciful blade of the guillotine all the triumphs and splendours of a woman that in short time is become the most elegant and famous symbol of France. The young woman portrayed is dressed in grief and she has been portrayed in a penitent attitude, while behind her we find a harp, favourite instrument of Marie Antoinette , symbolically covered by a drape, symbol of the queen?s death and the definitive eclipse of her myth.



ARTIST: Down on the left there is the author?s signature, FRANCOIS EUZET, we know nothing about his life, but we know the year of production, 1874, as indicated on the canvas.
