About the piece

Painted in 1806 by Guillaume Guillon-Lethière, this formal portrait depicts Elisa Bonaparte, Napoleon's sister, as the Grand Duchess of Tuscany. She is captured in the height of Empire fashion, wearing a jewel-encrusted tiara and a high-waisted gown adorned with gold laurel motifs, standing with regal poise against a dramatic drapery of deep red and dark shadows.
