Another print, "Portrait of Queen Marie Antoinette, " showcases her regal elegance during her reign. However, not all was glamorous for this ill-fated queen. The image titled "Marie Antoinette of Austria Judged by the Revolutionary Tribunal Court" depicts her standing before judges during the French Revolution's tumultuous times. As tensions escalated, she faced public scrutiny and ultimately met an untimely end. The lithograph from the 18th century shows Queen Marie Antoinette in all her splendor but serves as a reminder that even royalty couldn't escape their tragic fate. The etching titled "Marie Antoinette on Her Way to the Guillotine" captures the somber moment when she faced execution. In contrast, engravings like "The Royal Family's Last Farewell" and "Marie Antoinette Locked Up in Conciergerie Prison" reveal moments filled with sorrow and despair as she bid farewell to loved ones or endured imprisonment. Despite these hardships, there were glimpses of hope amidst adversity. An engraving called "The Carnation Plot to Free Marie Antoinette" illustrates attempts made to rescue her from captivity during 1793-1815. Another engraving showcases Marie Antoinette adorned with pearls and an ermine cape—a symbol of resilience despite challenging circumstances. Lastly, an engraving depicting Marie Antoinette alongside her daughter Maria-Therese reminds us that amidst chaos; familial bonds endure.
