"Marie-Antoinette with her Children, 1787" is a monumental painting by the French artist Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, depicting the Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette, and her three surviving children: Marie-Thérèse, Louis-Charles (the Dauphin), and Louis-Joseph. The painting, measuring 275 cm by 216.5 cm, is housed in the Palace of Versailles, a fitting location given its historical subject.

Vigée Le Brun, the most famous female painter of the 18th century, was the official portraitist of Marie-Antoinette and enjoyed the patronage of the French aristocracy. In this particular work, the artist aimed to evoke a sense of maternal tenderness and the dignity of the queen amidst the rising public hostility that preceded the French Revolution. The painting was intended to bolster the queen's image by portraying her as a caring mother rather than the widely criticized and extravagant "Madame Deficit."

The composition is rich in symbolism and carefully constructed to serve its political purpose. Marie-Antoinette is shown in a regal yet maternal pose, with her children gathered around her. The empty cradle in the background alludes to the death of her youngest child, Sophie, who died a year before the painting was completed. The inclusion of the empty cradle was also meant to elicit sympathy and to remind viewers of the queen's role as a mother who had suffered loss.

The painting is notable for its grandeur, the softness of its execution, and the emotional resonance of the familial scene. Vigée Le Brun's skill in capturing the likeness and character of her subjects is evident, as is her ability to navigate the complex demands of courtly representation and personal expression. "Marie-Antoinette with her Children" remains one of the most significant and poignant works of Vigée Le Brun's career, offering insight into the turbulent era that saw the decline of the French monarchy and the rise of revolutionary sentiments.
