About the piece

Painted in 1806 by Jean-Bernard Duvivier, this exquisite portrait captures Madame Tallien in the height of Empire fashion. Seated on a plush crimson sofa with a dark cashmere shawl, her white silk gown and delicate features are rendered with luminous precision against a backdrop of rich red drapery and a soft twilight sky.
