Let them eat cake tea towel features William Rowsell’s mixed-media fashion illustration of a woman in a bright pink dress. Created during a Drawing Cabaret Couture session in London, the original artwork draws on eighteenth-century French court fashion and references Marie Antoinette, reproduced here as a designer art tea towel.
This fashion painting in mixed media was drawn from a session with Drawing Cabaret Couture in London featuring a look influenced by the French eighteenth century court. The term 'Let them eat cake' was written by philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau in 1765. The original French phrase recorded by Rousseau was "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" ("Let them eat brioche"). Political writers and revolutionaries attached the quote to marie Antoinette decades later (around 1843). It fit the public view of her as a wealthy, uncaring queen during times of starvation in France.
