| So beautiful this Cameo Ring with Marie Antoinette and the Dauphin ! ![Cameo Ring with Marie Antoinette and her Son, the Dauphin L_pl9_10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f11/19/28/65/37/l_pl9_10.jpg) ![Cameo Ring with Marie Antoinette and her Son, the Dauphin L_pl1_11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f11/19/28/65/37/l_pl1_11.jpg) Jacques Guay carved cameo portraits of Queen Marie Antoinette, though it is not known whether he is the author of this one. The carver took advantage of the natural striations of color in the stone to differentiate between the two figures: the queen and her son, the dauphin (1785–95), who would have become Louis XVII, but for the French Revolution. Such a ring might have been worn by a courtier or, after the Revolution, by a royalist sympathizer. The cameo is surrounded by a border of diamond sparks in silver mounts. The forked shoulders each enclose a tulip originally set with a crystal. https://thewalters.org/ _________________ Who knows what lies beneath ?
