The gray paintings on the ceiling are by Boucher. The paintings are of Virtues, which of course represent those of queens. They are: Fidelity, Charity, Prudence and Generosity. Surely all the ladies whom stayed in this room met the qualifications! I wonder which pretty virtue was each queen's favorite!
Maria Therese of Spain (Archduchess of Austria & Queen of France)
Marie Adélaïde of Savoy (duchesse de Bourgogne & Dauphine of France)
Maria Leczinska (Queen of France)
Marie Antoinette (Dauphine & Queen of France)

Beautiful! And funny, I love your opening line. ;)
This is my favorite room at Versailles!!! Lot's of gold.
I have actually been there and seen it with my own eyes, and it's really beautiful, breathtakingly so! I wish my own bedroom would look just a tiny percent as beautiful as Antoinette's.
Absolutely breathtaking!!!
It is a pleasure to return to enter in your blog.
After a period of time, away from the minis, again with renewed hopes.
A greeting, Carmen kisses
@TigerLily & @Can'tSeeSheep I know, I love the furnishings of the period <3
@Talei @Dora :o) thanks!
@andrew1860 & @Malena was it a certain time of day you saw the room? I imagine it looks different throughout the day due to gold and soft colors...
Walking through this room, it was hard to understand precisely how large that bed truly was. The room was enormous, covered with gilt and paintings, dwarfing a bed that was almost as big and higher than my bedroom.
wow. I love queen's and princesses's rooms!
Maria Leszczyńska was a queen of france, not lencizka :/
@Anonymous If you are referring to the spelling under the image "Leczinska" I am using that from the Musée du Louvre's website.
I use "Leszczyńska" for my tags/labels. Did you see "Lencizka" somewhere? That is probably a typo I can change :o)
beautiful *__*
