I love this photo

The Queen's bedroom outfitted for summer. Notice the peacock feathers printed on the fabric. They say they are bad luck in one's home because of her unlucky fortune. 

Exotic birds were very much the fashion in the 18th century. Madame Du Barry is said to have a great fondness for them and owned several live ones, which she kept in her apartments.
