This 1810 portrait shows Empress Joséphine reclining on a golden couch, embodying the refined elegance of the Napoleonic court. Her relaxed pose and direct gaze suggest quiet confidence. The floral bouquet beside her echoes her passion for botany, while the setting evokes the neoclassical charm of Malmaison.
