About the piece

Commissioned around 1807, this majestic portrait by François Gérard depicts Empress Josephine in her full coronation splendor. Dressed in a silver-embroidered white gown and draped in a heavy crimson velvet mantle lined with ermine, she exudes an air of regal grace amidst the rich textures and architectural grandeur of the Napoleonic court.
