      It is now thought to have originally been a portrait of one of her elder sisters that was then later retouched to turn it into Marie Antoinette. The pastel by Ducreux of 1769 is probably a more accurate likeness although it allegedly took him five attempts to capture any close resemblance.

    Its funny because I recognized her instantly without reading the title... I always found it hard to imagine what her face really looked like. Her portraits seems so... weird? That is until I visited Versailles and saw her buste at Petite Trianon. She had the Habsburg jaw, really big eyes and a high forehead. Later on she also had, what we’d now call a third chin! It was considered beautiful back then. Marie Antoinette was very Pretty.

      Initially the French people loved her as times were not so hard. It was only later, due to her ignoring so many in the court, that she was turned upon. Many of the common people loved her as she helped them in a number of ways - she even “adopted” a poor child, she taught her own children to be kind to others, and she gave money. It was the nobles who were petty and turned on her. A tragic life, nonetheless.

      If you are black, you have to know that Marie antoinette was very generous with colored people, which was exceptional at that time.
      Marie-Antoinette has received and raised a black boy (a Senegalese). She gave him a refined education in Versailles, near Paris. She called him "Jean Amilcar", because she wanted him to be considered as a French, despite his skin color.
      Even after she had to leave Versailles, she had continued to pay the education of this senegalese boy. And she paid it with her own money. And when Marie-Antoinette understood that she will be executed (assassinated) by these proto-communists ("jacobins"), she asked a friend of her to make sure that the education of this black child continues to be paid to him and that he continues to be protected, even after she died.
      I am French. You have to remember that, at that time, almost all of Europeans were racists.
      Queen of France Marie-Antoinette was literaly an exception. She wanted to be generous, even with the simple farmers, even with the commoners, and even with black people.
      Another anecdote : despite the segregation and against the will of all aristocrats, Marie-Antoinette has protected a mulato, Who was called "Chevalier de Saint George". Marie-Antoinette made him her music director. And after that, she appointed him to head of l'Opéra Royal, in Paris.
      Really, Marie-Antoinette was very generous with all people, she felt closer to the French People than to the parasitic aristocracy of her time.
      She was against racism, which is common nowadays but was exceptional at that time. Really, She was a great Queen for France and for Humanity.

      I think the artists made sure the portraits would be flattering (of course!)..who wants to tick off a royal? That wd include slightly enlarging the eyes, as they are the focus of the face. Seeing numerous portraits of European royals, I also suspect a small mouth was the beauty standard for women/ maybe even men? I bet the depictions were also very much influenced by the beauty standards of the day.

    The French preferred her sister, Maria Karolina, but I think Marie Antoinette was prettier. She had a spirit to her, a kind of freshness that the court of Versailles desperately needed since it was rigid, old, and musty ever since Louis XIV set the rules for it so staunchly. Many reports from ambassadors stated that she was delightful to talk to and was down-to-Earth.

    Poor woman, she had such a tragic life. She’s such a widely misunderstood historical figure too. The famous line about “let them eat cake” is not true but not only that, she was also a very charitable person. She did a lot of good things but she was never liked by the French people from day 1. As they say, the winners write history.

      She might be get falsely blamed. But her waste of money lifestyle and her naive standpoint on politics cause her and her husband death.
      She is the member of the aristocracy who is occupied the whole nationals weath, throwing money on expensive stuff eventually caused the Deficit, she is not the direct politic leader, but she belongs to the part the bad politics for many ordinary people, therefore, when masses had enough of the aristocracy exploitative ruling, rebel and anti aristocracy revolution is inevitable. Dirty politic is unavoidable as well.

    She had a very protruding Habsburg jaw. Her skull was therefore easily identified. During the revolution, all the tombs of the kings in the Basilica of Saint-Denis were destroyed and the bones of the kings were thrown out of their coffins. See how this jaw looks in the Habsburg dynasty. All her portraits are heavily retouched. I am a professional French translator, I am passionate about French history, and I read a lot of books about French history.

Marie Antoinette had not formed a bond with the people of France. She disdained them, and didn't realize that to be Queen of France, the people need to see compassion from her.

      Not true. She was nothing like she has been depicted as. This was attested to by her personal servants who all adored her and looked up to her. She did much to help the French peasants and even adopted a French orphan whose grandparents couldn't afford to keep him and all his siblings after their parents died. Marie took him in as her own child and paid for his education and let him live in luxury at court. She also took responsibility for educating her own children, whom she made invite French peasant children to play and take meals with them, so they would learn about others less fortunate than themselves and to treat everyone as equals. This is how her own mother brought her and her siblings up, and every Xmas and birthday among the hundreds of gifts they received they were only allowed to keep one and had to give the ret away to poor local children. They also were made to invite poor children to play and share meals with them. Marie was so kind and charitable to the poor while at that the French court that the king, her father in law chided her.........

      If you are black, you have to know that Marie antoinette was very generous with colored people, which was exceptional at that time.
      Marie-Antoinette has received and raised a black boy (a Senegalese). She gave him a refined education in Versailles, near Paris. She called him "Jean Amilcar", because she wanted him to be considered as a French, despite his skin color.
      Even after she had to leave Versailles, she had continued to pay the education of this senegalese boy. And she paid it with her own money. And when Marie-Antoinette understood that she will be executed (assassinated) by these proto-communists ("jacobins"), she asked a friend of her to make sure that the education of this black child continues to be paid to him and that he continues to be protected, even after she died.
      I am French. You have to remember that, at that time, almost all of Europeans were racists.
      Queen of France Marie-Antoinette was literaly an exception. She wanted to be generous, even with the simple farmers, even with the commoners, and even with black people.
      Another anecdote : despite the segregation and against the will of all aristocrats, Marie-Antoinette has protected a mulato, Who was called "Chevalier de Saint George". Marie-Antoinette made him her music director. And after that, she appointed him to head of l'Opéra Royal, in Paris.
      Really, Marie-Antoinette was very generous with all people, she felt closer to the French People than to the parasitic aristocracy of her time.
      She was against racism, which is common nowadays but was exceptional at that time. Really, She was a great Queen for France and for Humanity.
