About the Item
This exquisite 1809 engraving captures Joséphine de Beauharnais, Empress of the French and Queen of Italy, in a stately, neoclassical pose. Drawn by Jean-Baptiste Bosio and engraved by Dominique Cavalli in Milan, it is a rare and refined example of early 19th-century imperial portraiture, created during the Napoleonic Empire.
Draped in elegant Empire-style attire, Joséphine is depicted with classical restraint and grace, holding a sprig of flowers against a backdrop of monumental architecture—likely evoking Rome or Milan, symbolizing her dual role as Empress of the French and Queen of Italy. The scene is framed with balanced symmetry, enhanced by neoclassical elements such as urns and domes, and suffused with a calm, dignified atmosphere.
Jean-Baptiste Bosio (1768–1827) was a noted portraitist and engraver who worked for the court of Napoleon. This particular image was likely based on an official commission, disseminated to celebrate and legitimize Joséphine’s status as consort to the Emperor.
