Description
This miniature is likely a copy after Isabey's miniature of the Empress Josephine of ca. 1808. She is show wearing a white standing "Medici" collar, one of her favorite garments. Her costume, which is white with gold frogging, generally recalls Renaissance styles. Gauzy veils flow around her head and over her bodice as if blown by the wind. A version of this miniature can be found in the Wallace Collection, London.
