Le Général Buonaparte (Napoleon as General of the Italian Army)

Pierre-Michel Alix, Andrea Appiani

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait of a person from the waist up, facing three-quarters to the right. The person has a stern expression and distinct facial features. They have medium length straight hair styled neatly and are dressed in a dark blue military-style coat with gold embroidery. There is a red fabric lining at the collar and cuffs, and they are wearing a light-colored glove on their right hand. The background has a brown textured pattern in an oval frame, against a muted marble-like design.
