Marlborough Tower and Dairy

This bucolic lakeside scene captures the Marlborough Tower (c. 1783) and adjacent dairy at Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet. The tower, styled as a picturesque lighthouse, served both ornamental and practical roles, while the dairy reflected the queen’s idealized vision of rural life—more theater than toil, yet emblematic of Enlightenment-era pastoral fantasies.
