Marie Antoinette (b. Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna ,1755 –1793) was the last queen of France before the French Revolution. Her trial (14–16 October 1793) ended in her execution. The sketch was supposedly made as she sat in a cart whilst being taken to her place of execution by guillotine. Her last words are said to have been made after stepping on the executioners foot , namely, "Pardonnez-moi, monsieur. Je ne l’ai pas fait exprès" meaning " I didn't do it on purpose". The image of her is believed to be closer to how she actually looked , rather than her painted images.
