"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 Marie Antoinette's official portraitist, Vigée-Lebrun created numerous representations of the queen during her career, which have become iconic images of the French monarchy on the eve of the Revolution. These portraits vary in size, style, and setting, but they all share a common goal of depicting the queen with a blend of regal dignity and personal charm.

Elisabeth Louise Vigée-Lebrun, also known as Madame Lebrun, was one of the most sought-after portrait painters of her era 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-subject dynamic. This connection allowed Vigée-Lebrun to capture more intimate and informal aspects of the queen's character, which was unusual for royal portraiture of the time.

Among the most famous of these portraits is "Marie Antoinette and Her Children" (1787), which depicts the queen with her three surviving children in an attempt to bolster her image as a devoted mother amidst rising public criticism. Another notable work is "Marie Antoinette en chemise" (1783), showing the queen in a simple muslin dress, which was considered scandalously informal at the time and led to public outcry. This portrait was quickly replaced with the more conventional "Marie Antoinette in a Court Dress" (1783).

Vigée-Lebrun's portraits of Marie Antoinette are celebrated for their technical proficiency and their nuanced portrayal of the queen, contributing to the complex legacy of Marie Antoinette's public image. These works remain significant in art history for their blend of Rococo and Neoclassical styles and for their role in the evolution of female portraiture. They are housed in various museums and collections around the world, continuing to draw interest for their historical significance and artistic merit.
