  1. Lauren, when was that painting made? Her clothing looks Triannon-influenced, which would be ironic wouldn't it? But then again that's how it goes in the 18th c french fashion world, isn't it. You can bash the fashion but you will succumb to it in the end a la devil wears prada.

    It wouldn't be weird that she is wearing Triannon-influenced clothing because she and Marie Antoinette had always been good friends.
