Artwork Description

This dramatic 1794 history painting by British artist William Hamilton immortalises one of the most iconic and tragic moments of the French Revolution: the final journey of Queen Marie Antoinette to the guillotine on 16 October 1793. Dressed in a simple white widow’s gown, the deposed queen maintains serene dignity and an upward gaze of resignation amid jeering revolutionaries and republican soldiers in dark uniforms. Hamilton’s masterful use of theatrical lighting and crowded composition powerfully contrasts royal grace with the brutality of revolutionary justice.

This painting suits a traditional or dramatic study, library, or history-focused interior, pairing powerfully with dark wood and rich tones. It is a striking gift for French history enthusiasts or as a profound anniversary or collector’s piece.
