Description
Poor Marie Antoinette - there is actually no record that she actually uttered the words "let them eat cake". This is digital art based on several photographs and digital painting. You can find more like this in the Pretty Romantic gallery. In any case, I hope you like her.

Let Them Eat Cake
"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", supposedly spoken by "a great princess" upon learning that the peasants had no bread. Since brioche was made from dough enriched with butter and eggs, making it more expensive than bread, the quote supposedly would reflect the princess's obliviousness as to the condition of the people.
While it is commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette, there is no record of this phrase ever having been uttered by her.
