"Lieutenant Charles Legrand" is a portrait painting by the French artist Antoine-Jean Gros, completed in 1804. The work is a notable example of Gros's portraiture, which often reflected the military and political climate of Napoleonic France. The painting depicts Charles Legrand, a lieutenant in the French army, in a half-length pose. He is dressed in his military uniform, adorned with the trappings of his rank and the insignia of the Legion of Honor, which Napoleon established in 1802 to reward services to France.

The portrait is characterized by Gros's skillful use of light and shadow, which imbues the subject with a sense of vitality and presence. The artist's attention to detail in the rendering of the uniform and decorations, as well as the psychological depth he imparts to his sitter, are hallmarks of his portraiture style. Gros, who was a student of Jacques-Louis David, is often associated with the Romantic movement, despite his classical training. His works, including this portrait, frequently convey the energy and heroism that were celebrated during the Napoleonic era.

"Lieutenant Charles Legrand" is not only significant for its artistic merits but also for its historical context. It captures the image of a young officer serving during a period of great upheaval and expansion in France. The painting is a testament to the personal stories of those who were part of Napoleon's military campaigns. Today, the portrait is an important piece within the oeuvre of Antoine-Jean Gros, offering insight into the artist's career as a portraitist and the broader narrative of French art during the early 19th century.
