Some minor WIP on the galloping horses.

I finally added a shiny nice new brass plate to my Versailles Ladies piece. Final pics taken showing the indifference both ladies are showing toward each other. Hope this captures the mood of the imaginary scene here.

Hi All,

I was watching the tv series Versailles on Netflix and it featured the infamous poisoning scandal during Louis XIV's period.
A ref to this incident can be found on this site. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affair_of_the_Poisons

The article mentions Michel Tellier, the Marquis of Louvois who was featured in the series and reported the scandal to the king. Tellier is the husband of Anne de Souvree, featured in my model. Although I can't find any reference to her, it is very likely that she would have accompanied her husband's sojourn at Versailles.

The article also mentions the Duchess of Boullion who is featured my model. She was banished by Louis XIV because of this scandal.

Hence these two ladies were very likely to have met at Versailles, probably not as bosom buddies...
