Wertmüller, a painter of Swedish origin, received the commission for a full-length portrait of Marie-Antoinette and her children, which was shown at the Salon in 1785 but was not well received by the critics. In 1788, he took the Queen’s face to make a small head and shoulder portrait. With a hint of a smile, and with her face turned towards the viewer and the head thrown slightly back, Marie-Antoinette is shown in a dynamic and natural pose.Full title : Marie-Antoinette, Queen of France (1755-1793)
