A month after Vigée Le Brun was obliged to remove her picture of Marie Antoinette in a chemise dress from the Salon, she installed this new, larger, and more formal portrait of the queen. In an astonishing transformation, she presents the sitter in the same pose and with the same expression while attiring her in the epitome of decorum and taste. The queen wears an elegant lace-trimmed dress. At the center of the nosegay in both paintings is a pink cabbage rose, her signature flower, at the peak of its bloom.
Léon-Jean-Bazille Perrault was a French academic painter. He was born to a modest family. A student of William Bouguereau and François-Edouard Picot, he exhibited at the Salon from 1863 onwards, producing many genre works which were immensely popular. He was famous for his le petit naufragé (The little shipwrecked boy, 1874) and his paintings of children.
