Marie Antoinette and Her Children oil-on-canvas painting by the French artist Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun , painted in 1787. It shows Marie Antoinette , the consort of King Louis XVI of France , wearing a red velvet gown with a sable lining. Her younger son, the future Louis XVII , sits on her lap, while her daughter Marie-Thérèse leans on her arm. Marie Antoinette's elder son, Louis Joseph , at that time Dauphin of France , is near an empty cradle intended for her younger daughter Sophie, who died before the painting's completion. The work was commissioned by Louis XVI in an effort to improve the public perception of Marie Antoinette, after her reputation was tarnished by the Affair of the Diamond Necklace , by focusing on her role as a queen and a mother; she is depicted with little jewellery. The painting was first shown at the Salon in Paris, to mixed reactions, and is now displayed at the Palace of Versailles .Painting credit: Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun
