perhaps my favourite artefact from the Marie Antoinette’s Style exhibition at the V&A… Sèvres porcelain cup to hold milk, modelled after her breast as part of her milkmaid fantasy of the Petit Trianon.

Portrait of Marie Antoinette in Court Dress by François Hubert Drouais

1773

Marie-Antoinette is shown here at the age of 17. She was already married to the future king Louis XVI, and a year later would be queen. She wears formal court dress: a silk gown with embroidered stomacher, needle lace and silver trimmings, and a jewelled necklace. A leader of fashion, Marie-Antoinette was at first celebrated for her taste but came to be criticised for her extravagance. She died at the guillotine in 1793. This painting appears to be one of several versions derived from an earlier portrait of Marie-Antoinette as Hebe, goddess of youth, executed by the same painter Drouais for Louis XV of France in 1772 and currently in the Musée Condé, Chantilly.

Currently on view at the Victoria & Albert South Kensington exhibit Marie Antoinette Style (Accession Number: 529-1882)
