'''Archduchess Marie Antoinette Habsburg-Lothringen at the Spinnet''' is an 18th-century oil painting by the Austrian artist Franz Xaver Wagenschön. The painting depicts Marie Antoinette (1755–1793), the fifteenth child of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria (1717–1780) and Emperor Francis I (1708–1765), seated at a spinet, a small keyboard instrument. Marie Antoinette, who later became the Queen of France as the wife of King Louis XVI (1754–1793), is portrayed in a moment of musical leisure, showcasing her aristocratic upbringing and the cultural refinement expected of a member of the European nobility.

Born in Vienna, Marie Antoinette was the youngest daughter of the imperial couple and was known for her beauty and vivacity. Her marriage to Louis XVI in 1770 was part of a diplomatic initiative to strengthen the alliance between Austria and France. As queen, Marie Antoinette became a controversial figure, often criticized for her extravagance and perceived indifference to the plight of the French people. She was ultimately executed by guillotine during the French Revolution in 1793.

Franz Xaver Wagenschön (1726–1790), the artist, was a respected painter of the Austrian Baroque period, known for his portraits and historical scenes. His depiction of the young archduchess at the spinnet captures the elegance and sophistication of the Habsburg court and provides a glimpse into the personal life of one of history's most infamous queens before her ascent to the French throne.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, offering insight into the cultural environment that shaped Marie Antoinette's character and the expectations placed upon her as a member of the royal family. It remains an important work for scholars studying the iconography of the Habsburg monarchy and the representation of royal figures in European art.
