EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Marie-Antoinette, Queen of France and Navarre, in a rather unexpected role - that of a shepherdess. The image captures her in an idyllic setting at Trianon, surrounded by lush greenery and holding a crook with gentle grace. Dressed in an exquisite Habsbourg-Lorraine costume, she exudes elegance even while embracing the simplicity of rural life. Marie-Antoinette's delicate features are beautifully highlighted as she gazes into the distance with a serene expression on her face. A lamb rests peacefully at her side, symbolizing innocence and purity. In one hand, she holds a basket filled with flowers, perhaps collected during her leisurely stroll through the picturesque landscape. The photograph is attributed to Alfred Wilson Cox (c. 1820-c. 1888), whose skillful composition brings out both the regal aura surrounding Marie-Antoinette and her ability to adapt to various roles effortlessly. This rare glimpse into Marie-Antoinette's private world offers us insight into her fascination with pastoral scenes and escapism from courtly life. It reminds us that beneath all the grandeur associated with royalty lies a woman who sought solace in nature's embrace. Displayed within this private collection, this mesmerizing print serves as a testament to Marie-Antoinette's enduring legacy as well as Cox's talent for capturing historical figures' multifaceted personalities through his lens.
