Marie Antoinette, tea and cake with Louis the cat

My whimsical illustration of Marie Antoinette having tea and cake with her beautiful white cat Louis in the pink paneled Salon.
Marie is seated on a pretty chaise with a huge selection of delicious cakes and pastries.
She holds her spoon in sweet anticipation at the delightful choice of desserts set before her.
There is a glimpse of the charming boudoir behind blue curtain.

I don’t know if Marie Antoinette had a cat but I like to imagine that she did and that she loved cats as much as cake!
