I like the detail on this shot. The brickwork stands out as does the bedspread/sheets. Lovely colors accent the shot very favorably.

I like the rich colors and patterns in this! I'm sure the history of this palace-to-prison is fascinating! Fine image.

'La Conciergerie' was a prison where hundreds of people were held before being executed. It was 'the antechamber to the guillotine'.
Marie Antoinette was imprisoned in 'La Conciergerie' during the weeks before she was beheaded at the Place de la Concorde in Paris (France).

Your image gives a perfect impression of the conditions in which she had to live prior to her death. Think that she got used to a somewhat different lifestyle!
Perfectly done, Ted.

Very cool and interesting. I doubt, though, that "the comforts" of the cell consoled her much.
