This is extremely interesting to me, because in my research, I found letters from either Charles X (M. d'Artois in 1773) or his entouragedescribinghis/their return toVersailles, finding it in decay, and empty, abandoned. I had imagine after all the time gone, the wooden panels (boiseries) that were in many of the rooms, would have fallen, but I did imagine the hall of mirrors, despite lacking its furnishings, would still have been glorious. The marbles,mirrorsand paintings, a little heavy on the dust side, but marvelous either way. That feeling or look, glorious but charming, yet haunting, Is represented to me in this picture.
Eeeks. This is the hall of mirrors btw :D
