Caroline Bonaparte Queen of Naples as portrayed by Gérard

François Gérard, Portrait of Caroline Bonaparte. Ajaccio, Musée Fesch.
François Gérard, Portrait of Caroline Bonaparte. Ajaccio, Musée Fesch.

In this painting, Caroline is represented in a half–length pose, smiling and with her head slightly turned to the left. She is wearing a cream–colour dress that lends the entire painting an icy luminosity.
This painting is to be considered in relation to that of Caroline with her children painted by Gérard in 1808, just prior to the Murat family’s departure for Naples.
