From the Marie Antoinette Purple Series, this 8 X 8 in handmade decoupage-on-glass plate features one of the most the famous portraits of Marie Antoinette, painted by François-Hubert Drouais in 1773, when she was eighteen.

Edged in gold leaf, the back of this 8 inch round, glass plate is covered in handmade paper with gold scrollwork.
