EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century print captures the youthful beauty and grandeur of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette on the occasion of their wedding in 1770. At the tender ages of 15 and 14 respectively, the young dauphin and dauphine of France were united in marriage in a grand ceremony at the Palace of Versailles. Louis XVI, the future king of France, is depicted in his ornate royal attire, complete with a velvet doublet, lace jabot, and a three-cornered hat adorned with roses and fleurs-de-lis. His expression is serious and regal, reflecting the weight of the responsibilities that lay before him. Beside him stands Marie Antoinette, the Austrian princess who would become the queen of France. She is resplendent in a voluminous, ivory-colored gown, adorned with delicate lace and embroidery. Her hair is styled in elaborate curls and her face framed by a delicate lace veil. The crinoline skirt of her dress is a testament to the opulent fashion of the 1770s. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the customs and traditions of the French monarchy during this period. The elaborate costumes, grand setting, and youthful innocence of the royal couple serve as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of their marriage and the tumultuous events that would unfold in the years to come. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for history buffs, fashion enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of France and the European monarchy.
