About the piece
This refined oil painting from 1825 is a self-portrait by Charlotte Napoléone Bonaparte. Dressed in a striking emerald green gown with puff sleeves, the artist presents herself not just as a noblewoman, but as a skilled creator engaged in her craft. The dark, minimalist background emphasizes her luminous skin tones and the meticulous detail of her sketching materials, making it a sophisticated addition to a traditional study or gallery wall.
