In this portrait of Marie Antoinette by Elisabeth Vigée-Le Brun, every object has a meaning, including the flowers. 
Painted in 1788 as the calls for revolution grew loud, Le Brun’s monumental portrait presents her friend sympathetically, with details meant to both elevate the monarchy and humanize the deeply controversial queen of France.
Artists have often included floral bouquets in portraits of women to symbolize femininity and fertility, and here the prominent placement next to the French crown is a reminder of the queen’s role to deliver an heir to the French monarchy.
The artist lavishes attention on the flower bouquet giving accurate details to the pale pink peonies, red carnations and a lavender hyacinth. Marie Antoinette’s hand gestures toward a spray of flowers on the table, perhaps suggesting that we’ve just intruded on the queen herself arranging the vase.
