Les dessous de la reine

In this episode, the children discuss the painting The Queen in a White Muslin Dress by Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun. This painting depicts a woman with a perfect complexion, clear eyes and a rosy mouth. This is not a simple portrait but the ancestor of filters. The kind of filter that makes you look ten years younger, irresistible! You can see a lot of details on these portraits. It's simple, Elisabeth has a knack for beautifying her models, including Marie-Antoinette, and painting them in their most beautiful profile. This is how she became one of the most famous portraitists of her time.
