“Before directing the redesign of Versailles, Marie-Antoinette exercised her creative muscle in a more conventional manner. A written statement on the reverse of this watercolour states it was produced ‘by the unfortunate queen Marie-Antoinette who was decapitated on 16 October 1793’.
The pastoral scene depicts a small church, pond and hay wagon, a rider in the foreground seeking refreshment at a local tavern.”
