  one thing this misses is that marie tried to help the poor. even with her poor education, especially on economics and politics, she would listen to what the people were saying, established charities, donated generously, tried to create more well paying jobs, tried to make sure single mothers and their children were cared for, etc. she was a scapegoat forced into a doomed role.

  Even from her death mask, you can see she was quite beautiful. I read a wonderful biography of her that was based on the weekly letters she wrote to her mother. It gave an incredible insight into court manoeuvrings and the prejudice and jealousy she faced. She and Louis were quite simple people, and highly unsuited to the role they were expected to play. A truly tragic story.

  It’s so sad that no one really remembers all of the good things Marie Antoinette tried to do as Queen of France.

  Pardon me sir, I did not do it on purpose. &nbsp;This last phrase said by someone who should be shaking and crying in horror, when facing the bloodied blade on the scaffold, does not stop me from admiring this historic personality. &nbsp;What courage!

  I saw her death mask many years ago and thought she was really prettier than her portraits. Your recreation using the combination of her death mask and portraits say it all. She was really very beautiful.

  I have always felt sorry for Marie and Louis…. &nbsp; He wished to be a locksmith and who was shy and sweet, but also sadly unable to be a strong king. &nbsp;Marie was sent to France to be a kind compliant Queen to live forever away from her home and family. &nbsp;They were sweet children who were in no way prepared to rule a nation beggared by their prior monarchs. &nbsp;👑✨😢✨👑

  I have always felt her execution was such an unnecessary meanness. She always struck me as quite lovely. Your reconstruction is wonderful.

  In school I chose her to research and deliver a presentation on, and I was heartbroken to find her true story. So utterly tragic. She had a good heart in an evil world surrounding her, same as her husband. Kind simple people that in no shape or form deserved the suffering that was bestowed upon them.

  I feel really sad when I think about her. She didn&apos;t have the worst life, but she definitely didn&apos;t deserve the end she faced. Goes to show how toxic mob mentality can get.

  Given this recreation, I’d say Marie would be considered a beauty in every era.

  I want everyone to know there is a “condition” that’s named after Marie called ”Marie Antoinette Syndrome” (or close to it) that is said to occur under extreme stress of both body and mind where your hair goes completely stark white/grey. This happened to her while she was imprisoned. Largely due to the rumors and horrors spread regarding falsities about neglect/s*xual abuse she did to her son (which were in no way true) that her son was forced to confirm under duress. Which I thought was horrific when I found out because she loved her kids and sucked that she was tormented to such a degree.
