Empress Josephine, ceremonial robes, 1763-1814: A Vision of Imperial Splendor This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais (1763-1814) in her ceremonial robes, an embodiment of imperial elegance and refinement during the Napoleonic era. The image, taken from the renowned French publication "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, captures the essence of the Empress's regal presence. The Empress is depicted wearing a white satin dress with short sleeves, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and embellishments. Over the satin gown, she wears a velvet manteau de cour, a long, fitted cloak with a fur lining, which adds an air of opulence and grandeur. The cloak is fastened with a golden brooch, further enhancing the Empress's regal appearance. Joséphine's hairstyle, styled in the popular "à la Titan" fashion of the time, is adorned with pearls and diamonds, adding to her radiant beauty. The Empress's expressive eyes, framed by delicate lashes, convey a sense of strength and determination, reflecting her role as the wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Emperor of the French. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the high-quality production of Le Bibliophile Jacob's publication. The intricate embroidery, the rich fabrics, and the Empress's regal posture all contribute to a captivating image that transports us back in time to the imperial court of Napoleon Bonaparte.
