I do not understand why people thing there is a similarity. <BR/><BR/>I see a similarity between M.A. and Alexandra, murdered along with Nicholas and her children during the Russian Revolution. She was a princess from a foriegn land, despised by the people, and who became a scapegoat for everything that went wrong leading up to the Revolution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-63221807781088264782007-06-24T21:32:00.000-04:002007-06-24T21:32:00.000-04:00Yes, it the one of her in the dark blue velvet dre...Yes, it the one of her in the dark blue velvet dress.

I saw a 10 foot tall state portrait of Marie Antoinette by Elisabeth Vigee-LeBrun (not the same one which you have pictured here) circa 1788. Sad to think her life ended so tragically not that many years later.Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534539169157708222.post-83211889021342977552007-06-24T19:16:00.000-04:002007-06-24T19:16:00.000-04:00Very well put and with great charity.
