"Portrait of Marie Antoinette" is a collective term that refers to a series of portraits of the French queen Marie Antoinette painted by the prominent 18th-century artist Elisabeth Vigée-Lebrun. As the official portraitist to Marie Antoinette, Vigée-Lebrun created numerous representations of the queen during her career, which became iconic images of French royalty prior to the French Revolution. These portraits are celebrated for their artistic mastery and historical significance, as they capture the opulence of the Ancien Régime and the personal characteristics of a queen who has become a subject of great historical fascination and controversy.

Elisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun, also known as Madame Lebrun, was one of the most sought-after portrait painters of her time and a rare female member of the French Royal Academy. Her relationship with Marie Antoinette was both professional and personal, as the two shared a friendship that went beyond the artist-muse dynamic. This connection allowed Vigée-Lebrun to create intimate and flattering depictions of the queen, which were instrumental in shaping her public image.

Among the most famous portraits of Marie Antoinette by Vigée-Lebrun is "Marie Antoinette and Her Children" (1787), which shows the queen with her three children in an attempt to bolster her image as a devoted mother amidst rising public criticism. Another notable work is "Marie Antoinette with a Rose" (1783), where the queen is depicted in a relatively simple white muslin dress, a stark contrast to the extravagant attire that was expected of her royal status. This particular portrait was a response to the backlash the queen faced for a previous portrait, "Marie Antoinette en Gaulle" (1783), where she was dressed in a similarly informal garment known as a "chemise a la reine," which was considered scandalous at the time.

Vigée-Lebrun's portraits of Marie Antoinette are significant not only for their artistic value but also for their role in the politics of representation during a tumultuous period in French history. They provide insight into the ways in which Marie Antoinette was perceived and how she attempted to use portraiture to influence her public persona. Today, these works are housed in various museums and art collections around the world, where they continue to be studied and admired for their elegance and historical context.
