The queen in all her official splendor: an emblematic ceremonial portrait of the Ancien Régime

Created around 1775 by Jean-Baptiste André Gautier-Dagoty, this sumptuous portrait depicts Marie-Antoinette dressed in the grand habit de cour, shortly after her accession to the throne of France.
This is one of the first official portraits of the queen, intended to assert her legitimacy, her royal status, and her political role, at a time when the monarchical image is essential to power.

A majestic ceremonial portrait, rich in symbols

A theatrical staging, between hierarchy and femininity

In this spectacular work, Marie-Antoinette is depicted full-length, in a solemn pose, her hand resting on a red velvet armchair or a table adorned with a royal cushion.
She is dressed in the grand court robe in blue or purple velvet, lined with white ermine, adorned with gold embroidery and fleurs-de-lis, and complemented by an imposing train, worn according to the Versailles protocol.

Her hairstyle is elaborate, with powdered hair, high chignon, and feathers, complemented by royal jewelry (pearl necklace, ribbons, tiara). The classical background, composed of columns, red drapes, and monumental architecture, reinforces the symbolism of monarchical power.

A political image above all

This portrait is not intended to represent the queen's intimacy, but to define her visual authority within the French monarchy. It will be disseminated throughout European courts, in engravings and copies, to consolidate the image of a young, elegant, and dignified sovereign, a worthy heir to the royal tradition.

Although criticized at the time for its excessive ornamentation and its rigid formalism, this painting has become a fundamental visual symbol of the first public representation of Marie-Antoinette as queen.
