Madame Royale, as the figure of Innocence, is seated next to a large tomb, with a shield bearing the escutcheons of the Allied Powers by her arm and a lamb lying at her feet. She despairingly pulls back a heavy curtain to reveal three urns, representing King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and Madame Elizabeth and lettered with the dates of their respective executions.Share
