This 54mm vignette shows the last farewell of Marie Antoinette and her children. I have had a lifelong interest in the French revolution, its history, and how it changed European history.
With this scratch built scene I wanted to show the different expressions and emotions in a quiet scene, yet powerful and filled with drama.
And the painting using a limited and muted palette was also used carefully.
This vignette was made in 2018 and remains one of my favorite scenes.
