I stumbled upon this regal beauty quite serendipitously in Brooklyn. She deserves a nice home where she will surely bring beauty and charm to your bookshelf or vanity. This piece's details and craftsmanship are quite stunning! Good condition for display with a few minor scuffs, blemishes, (see photos) and a small chunk missing from her bow. Wax is very fragile - please check the photos carefully. I've tried to highlight the flaws with pink. Height: 22 cm small wick intact and unburned Doesn’t come with box Offers welcome ! This little-known copy of Marie-Antoinette of Austria is attributed to one of the Brachard brothers, either the eldest, Jean-Charles-Nicolas or the youngest, Jean-Nicolas-Alexandre. This object is an idealized portrait of the queen instead of the evocation of a sovereign at the height of her power. The head is slightly turned to the right; the shoulders are covered with a swath of fabric for a natural effect; she is wearing a crown decorated with a fleur-delis and a row of pearls. As one of the most famous and controversial women in French History, Marie-Antoinette was the object of many artistic representations. Many valuable pieces disappeared during the French Revolution. Fortunately, some copies have survived the upheavals of time. In collaboration with The Plaster Cast Workshop of the Rmn - Grand Palais.
