Marie Antoinette Sculpture

Do you like flowers?" - Once, as if by chance, King Louis XVI, who had just ascended to the throne of France, asked his very young wife while walking through the gardens of Versailles. “Yes, Sir!” - Marie Antoinette's eyelashes fluttered in surprise. "Well, I have one bouquet for you." - Louis waved his handkerchief towards the Small Trianon, the same one that had been arranged for his father’s favorite, Madame de Pompadour, who, unfortunately, did not live to see the end of its construction. “Thank you, Sir!” - the Queen answered with a bow. But a mischievous smile immediately lit up her face: - “I, Sir, have one indispensable condition, without which I cannot accept this magnificent gift from you: you will give me the word of the King, not to appear in my domain except at my invitation” . The Small Trianon became the favorite place of Marie Antoinette, who was not accustomed to the strict, Spanish style, palace etiquette and the stuffy world of Parisian intrigues and gossip. In her possessions, the Queen of France could remain herself, communicate only with really close people and bring the appearance of the interiors and landscapes surrounding her in accordance with her inner world, reaching, albeit temporarily, that shaky harmony in existence that we all strive for so much. I wish each young lady to have her own wonderful garden!
