Meanwhile, citizens, today is another memorable date for Marie-Thérèse de Lamballe. But this time, it is the anniversary of her birth.

And on this day I wanted to capture a piece of what made her happy.

"Portrait Présumé de la Princesse de Lamballe (Marie-Louise de Savoie-Carignan)", circa 1780-85.

I´m curious to understand what led perfectly proper upper-class ladies of the mid to late 18th century to pose half-topless, especially when it comes to non-fantasy portraits. I wonder if this happened in pictures alone, or if it was equally usual in real life (as it was back in Agnes Sorel´s time). Not wanting to lie, I recently did a quick search and got something along the lines of "a suggestion of a nipple peaking through the decolletage being considered delicate and chic".

what's the name of the sickness where you think portraying marie-antoinette as sapphic is harmful because it's mostly just fetishization coming from the defamation pamphlets that circulated during her lifetime but also you need her to end up with lamballe or polignac in the 2022 tv show ???
