Historical faces of France in dolls

Marie Antoinette (Maria Antonia Joseph Johannes of Habsburg-Lorraine, 1755-1793) - Queen of France, the youngest daughter of Emperor Franz I and Maria Theresa. Wife of King Louis XVI of France since 1770.
Marie Antoinette had a great influence on her husband Louis XVI, and over the years of their life together, the royal court became too separated from the common people. From the very beginning, she acted as an "Austrian", she openly intervened in politics, supporting the interests of Austria.
Marie Antoinette was fond of the role of trendsetter. All the women of France meticulously watched her toilets, which she changed almost like gloves. The king increased its maintenance, but there was still not enough money to pay for dresses and jewelry. Marie Antoinette, disdaining the royal prohibition, turned to gambling, which has always flourished at court. Huge sums won or lost in one evening irritated the common people and devastated the treasury. Moreover, despite the brilliant prospects, Louis XVI was unable to cope with the financial problems that faced France. All this led to the fact that the French began to see the cause of many of their misfortunes in their queen.
On October 16, 1793, Marie Antoinette, wife of the French king Louis XVI, was beheaded in the central square of Paris.
