Development of satirical drawing of Marie Antoinette


Marie Antoinette's hair was such a focal point for various propaganda during her unpopularity in France and up to this very day it is commonly thought to be the most profound symbol when one mentions "Marie Antoinette". Therefore, I have used this symbol to further satirise Marie Antoinette whilst employing a factual twist. I will do this by incorporating a time line into the excessive hair. As I see it, there are three stages of Marie Antoinette's life to present:

  1. Her Austrian Origins.
  2. Her life as an extravagant, indulgent Queen.
  3. Her imprisonment and execution at the hands of the Revolutionaries.
