Question! Should we leave the “sticky” up a bit longer? Will anybody else vote or is this it? We have five “likes” (awesome!) and two comments (aka “votes”). Come on! Keep up the chatter guys! **** your blog hostess ❤
Two of these childhood pictures are of Marie Antoinette and two are of her older sister and best friend Maria Carolina, future Queen of Naples. No cheating! (The internet can lead you astray…it has done so to me and countless others!) Yes this is a precursor to tomorrow’s blog.
Can you tell? Come on, take a guess! I made this post “sticky-on-top” to encourage voting before everybody barrels on to the answers.
S’il vous plaît! I never been this bad at generating conversation in my life!

Hmm…this is tough…I don’t know…to my untrained eye the pictures look to be of four different women! My *random* guess would be that the pictures on the right are of the same woman…? I tried…Brightest Blessings

I am the worst at keeping a secret but…just wait ’til this evening to find out! I’ll try to keep my mouth shut. Basically, any guess is a close guess. That’s how much they look alike!

when you said “on the right” were you referring to the “foursquare” large set-up or the header where everyone is in a row? Did you check out today’s answers?

I was referring to the ‘foursquare’ in my valiant, yet sadly, poor attempt…I did check out the answers…as I said, I tried… Brightest Blessings

That was the point…how much they looked alike. (I’ve mislabelled many a picture in my massive collection.)
Besides, how are you supposed to tell siblings apart when your momma dresses you alike?
Maybe I should just do a “gallery post” featuring the absolute stockpile of Marie Antoinette images I have. All public domain, all right-clickable…all for you guys. Kind of a “weeded-out image search”…almost a public service.
What do you think?

Since I have done alot of reading on Marie-Antoinette, and have seen two of her photos out of these 4 in books. Marie-Antoinette is the top right and bottom left.

Though you failed to specify which “four books” please don’t! It’s a low-key Sunday fun game. I’d like everyone to have a shot. Don’t fret! We’ll do some kind of “bragging rights trivia” one day!
All of these pictures are “right clicks”…plus, I can only think of 1 book where 1 painting appears. Do send me an email with the titles! I love it when somebody piques my curiosity!

Sorry, I should have put a comma after the 4. I meant that in several different books I had seen two of these photos. Those two are the Marie-Antoinette photos you have here in the collage. I’ll email you the titles, once I’ve assembled them. It’s been a few years since I’ve read the books.

Oh, that one—ahem—not to give “it” away–is all over cos I think it may have been one of the portraits that was sent to the Court of Versailles. She’s about 13 or so. You should see some of the older ones I’ve found…they’re in black and white!
