"Desiree Clary, 1777–1860, Queen of Sweden" is an oil painting by the French artist Baron François Gérard, depicting Bernhardine Eugénie Désirée Clary, who was once engaged to Napoleon Bonaparte and later became Queen Desideria of Sweden and Norway. The artwork is a portrait of Desiree Clary in regal attire, reflecting her status as a European monarch. François Gérard, a prominent painter of the Neoclassical era, was known for his portraits of high society figures, including members of the Bonaparte family and European aristocracy.

The painting captures the elegance and poise of Queen Desideria, showcasing Gérard's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the delicate features of his subjects. The portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it represents a woman who played a role in the political and social transformations of early 19th-century Europe. Desiree Clary's life journey from a merchant's daughter in Marseille to the Queen of Sweden is a remarkable narrative of the era's fluid social structures amidst the backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.

As Queen of Sweden and Norway, Desiree Clary's image in art and popular culture often reflects the complex relationships and shifting allegiances of European monarchies during her lifetime. Gérard's portrait is a testament to her enduring legacy and the rich tapestry of European history in which she was woven. The painting is held in high regard for its historical context and as an exemplar of Gérard's portraiture, contributing to our understanding of the period's visual culture and the representation of female power in royal iconography.
