Queen Marie-Antoinette, Anne Vallayer-Coster, 1778

This miniature may be copied from a now-lost portrait of marie-antoinette by anne vallayer-coster, who was one of the queen's favorite artists. Vallayer-coster was celebrated for her still lifes, but she received several important portrait commissions from the royal family, perhaps due to the favor shown her by marie-antoinette. However, vallayer-coster's floral still-life miniatures are done with an exquisite technique that is far superior to that found in this portrait. Date: 1778. Place of creation: France. Dimensions: 8.8 cm (3.5 in). Medium: gold, watercolor on ivory. Collection: Walters Art Museum. Anne Vallayer-Coster - Queen Marie-Antoinette - Walters 38323
