Joséphine is shown seated, dressed in a white dress decorated with lace and pearls. She also wears a lace headdress and jewelry, testifying to her wealth and social status. The composition of the painting is very balanced, with Josephine in the center and a sober, dark background.
Gérard chose to represent Joséphine with a slight smile on her lips and a gentle and attentive expression. This representation highlights the beauty and grace of Joséphine, as well as her charming and kind personality. The soft light that illuminates his face adds a touch of mystery and romance to the painting.

He enjoyed great success and was appointed official painter of the Empire in 1808. He was also elected a member of the Academy of Fine Arts in 1816 and became professor of drawing at the École des beaux-arts in 1824.
