The Marie Antoinette portrait above is a group portrait by Mme. Vigee-Lebrun. This Marie Antoinette portrait was intended as a propaganda exercise to emphasise Marie Antoinette's role as a royal mother. Marie Antoinette's second son, Louis Charles, is on Marie Antoinette's lap. Marie Antoinette's fourth child, MAdame Sphie, died as a baby and had to be painted out so the Dauphin Louis Joseph points to the empty cradle which was supposed to have Marie Antoinette's fourth child in.
