About the piece
Painted by Anne-Louis Girodet around 1805, this portrait captures Hortense de Beauharnais, Queen of Holland, in a moment of poised grace. She is depicted wearing a vibrant pink and white Empire-style gown with delicate lace trim, accented by a pearl diadem and matching earrings. The dark, atmospheric background featuring a distant waterfall emphasizes the sitter's luminous complexion and the sophisticated palette of the French Neoclassical era.
