Painted in 1773 by François-Hubert Drouais, this masterpiece showcases the young queen as Hebe, the Greek goddess of youth and cupbearer to the gods. Marie Antoinette's delicate features are flawlessly depicted against a backdrop of opulent Rococo elements. The artist skillfully portrays her with an air of aristocratic elegance, adorned in sumptuous garments that reflect her status as Queen of France.
