Image: Detail from The return from flight by Edward Matthew Ward, 1872.
The (1872) Art Journal on Edward Matthew Ward’s painting depicting the royal family’s return to Paris in 1791:
He has painted many very fine pictures illustrative of the misfortunes of the family of Louis XVI, but in this he seems to have summed up the merits of all the others.

If Trianon was an escape from anything, it was an escape from the court with all its formality and, one imagines, tedium. In the portrait Marie-Antoinette represents herself not in terms of a position at court, but in terms of a position in a larger society–as a fashionable woman. The portrait confuses boundaries; the queen en chemise is a queen in masquerade.
–Mary D. Sheriff, ‘The Portrait of the Queen’
