This artwork, which translates to "Portrait of Emperor Napoleon I in Coronation Robes," depicts Napoleon Bonaparte in the regal attire he wore during his coronation as Emperor of the French in 1804. The painting is a testament to Gérard's mastery in capturing the grandeur and authority of his subjects, a skill that made him a favorite among the French nobility and the imperial family.

The portrait is characterized by its meticulous detail and the use of rich colors that emphasize the opulence of the emperor's coronation robes. Napoleon is portrayed with the imperial regalia, including the crown, scepter, and hand of justice, symbols of his absolute power and his role as the ruler of France.

Commissioned by Napoleon himself, the painting served not only as a personal memento but also as a powerful piece of propaganda, intended to legitimize his rule and cement his image as a sovereign by divine right. The portrait was part of a broader campaign to establish a visual iconography for the new empire, with Gérard playing a key role in crafting the imperial image.
