"Catherine Worlee, 1762-1835, Duchess of Talleyrand Perigord" is an oil painting by the renowned French artist Baron François Gérard. The work is a portrait of Catherine Noele Grand (1762–1835), who was also known as Madame Grand, and later became the Duchess of Talleyrand-Périgord through her marriage to Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, a prominent French diplomat. Gérard, a leading portraitist of his time, was known for his depictions of the political and social elite of the Napoleonic era.

The painting captures the Duchess in a moment of refined elegance, reflecting both her personal beauty and the aesthetic standards of the period. Gérard's skillful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of expression, contribute to the lifelike quality of the portrait. The work is significant not only as an example of Gérard's mastery but also as a historical document that offers insight into the fashion and societal norms of the French aristocracy during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

As a subject, Catherine Worlee was a figure of intrigue and controversy, known for her beauty and her scandalous early life prior to her marriage to Talleyrand. Her portrayal by Gérard is thus a window into the complex interplay of politics, social standing, and personal reputation during a transformative period in French history.

The painting is an important piece within Gérard's oeuvre and is often studied for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance. It remains a valuable artifact within the broader narrative of French portraiture and the visual culture of the Napoleonic era.
