The young dauphine as a court icon: Marie-Antoinette painted with majesty and freshness

Created around 1775 by Jean-Baptiste André Gautier-Dagoty, this portrait is one of the first official representations of Marie-Antoinette, then dauphine or young queen just arrived at the court of France.
Dagoty, renowned painter and engraver, offers here a sumptuous and meticulously ornamented painting, designed to showcase the grace, elegance, and symbolic power of the one who would become a mythical figure of the Ancien Régime.

A refined, theatrical court portrait representative of its time

A royal staging between beauty, fashion, and politics

Marie-Antoinette is depicted standing or in bust, in a classical architectural setting, sometimes with columns and draperies, symbols of stability and monarchical power. She wears a sumptuous embroidered silk dress, in pastel tones highlighted with gold, as well as numerous jewels, pearls, lace, and feathers in her hair, typical of rococo fashion.

His gaze is gentle but confident, his bearing dignified, and his expression calmly impenetrable. The composition reinforces the idea of a young, elegant queen, but already invested with an important public role.

This painting aimed to spread an idealized image of Marie-Antoinette in the European courts, consolidating the Austro-French alliance and preparing her entry into the visual legend of the monarchy.

A rare work that captures the youth and the diplomatic image of the queen

Unlike the later portraits signed by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, this painting shows us a Marie-Antoinette still in the shadow of Versailles, more decorative than political, more a figure of representation than of resistance.
But already, Dagoty highlights his charisma, his proud bearing, and his aristocratic aura, announcing the importance of his image in the visual history of the 18th century.
