A magnificent pair of lithograph portraits of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Extremely detailed and in original metal frames. Jean-Gothard Muller (1746-1830). Both lithographs were hand-etched and engraved from paintings done by different Court painters. Engravings printed on laid paper, with margins, each framed in period metal. It is most likely that the prints were done during the lifetime of Louis and Marie.
