Bijoux à la guillotine
A (literal) gem of a find in Musée Carnavalet: French Revolution themed earrings, head of king and queen included!
Quite morbid, but perhaps delightfully so. They were made about 100 years after the revolution was over, but still!

A miniature possibly depicting the royal family and entourage in the gardens of Versailles. The miniature is being sold by Pichon & Noudel-Deniau.
Although the listing suggests that this depicts Madame de Tourzel holding the hands of Marie-Therese and Louis Charles, I think that the children here are almost certainly Marie-Therese and Louis Joseph. The posing of the trio on the right is strikingly similar to Wertmuller's portrait of Marie Antoinette, Marie-Therese and Louis Joseph:
So if the woman on the right is a governess, she would not be Madame de Tourzel. Although personally, I think it's plausible that the woman could just as easily be Marie Antoinette herself.

Hi Reddit, recently I (36m) took my wife (35f) and tried to flee the country due to fear of the revolution that has elevated the lowly and struck down noble privilege sweeping the country. The government has caught me and seems rather displeased with me for it. AITA?

“Kissing Mme la Dauphine, [Louis] said to her, “But do you love me?” [She] answered, ‘Yes, you cannot doubt it, I love you sincerely and respect you even more.” (1773)
P.S she’s reading to Louis his favorite book, Hume’s history of England!

Marie Antoinette girlies baffle me.
Every single time i have seen a video on Marie Antoinette it is literally just someone feeling bad for her and being a complete royal sympathiser, backing it up wiht “she was just a child” no she wasn’t..
She AND Louis were both children when married which is bad and honestly i do feel bad that they had to marry completely blind to what the other person was like and at ages 14/15 honestly that it sad however, when they were crowned king and Queen they weren’t technically children, yes they were still young but they were not babies and knew that they had duties to do as the monarchs or France. People seem to make the decisions that Marie Antoinette was completely innocent and “just a child” when in fact her whole country was starving and dying and all she and her husband could do is practically bathe in money like it grew on trees, and they wonder why there was a rebellion… 💀
Marie Antoinette was actually quite aware of what was going on in France but she just didn’t solve it along with her husband and the weird thing is that the girlies feeling bad for her and saying she deserved so much better don’t say a single word on Louis because apparently he was in the wrong and she wasn’t. If you are going to be a royal sympathiser for her then might as well do it for him too, they did the exact same thing.
Now I know Marie got a bit more backlash becuase she was a women too i understand that and I think all the propaganda and drawings of her were disgusting and absolutely unnecessary but please just remember she was in the wrong and she was arrogant for not helping her country (so was Louis, both were completely at fault) and she wasn’t a child when she was Queen and she wasn’t innocent.
My opinions on this is that the people’s anger was completely justified but a lot of their actions were not e.g. they could’ve let Louis and Marie escape and they should never have done what they did to Madame de lamballe, however at the end of the day Louis and Marie Antoinette were as bad as eachother and should never have ruled France and they weren’t some innocent Pookies we should be idolising or glorifying it is so embarrassing..

During the alarm for the life of the Queen, regret at not possessing an heir to the throne was not even thought of. The King himself was wholly occupied with the care of preserving an adored wife.

The Death of Louis XVI
Older drawing that I did of Marie Antoinette and her children, reacting to Louis XVI’s execution. The smoke from the window is supposed to symbolize the canon’s smoke that announced the kings death
