This is one of the most celebrated images of Josephine. She wears a gold embroidered white gauze gown and tiara, and is seated on a fine red cashmere shawl, fashionable for the time.
Prud'hon was the royal couple's favorite artist. He is known to have done several individual pastel portraits of other figures.
