"Costume of an Under Prefect during the period of the Consulate 1799-1804 of the First Republic in France" is a historical artwork by Chataignier that depicts the official attire of an under prefect in France during the Consulate period, which lasted from 1799 to 1804. This period marked the end of the French Revolution and the beginning of the Consulate government, which was led by Napoleon Bonaparte as First Consul before he became Emperor of the French.

The artwork serves as a visual representation of the fashion and the administrative hierarchy of the time, illustrating the sartorial details and insignia that would have been worn by an under prefect, a local government official appointed by the central government to oversee a district known as an arrondissement. The costume would typically reflect the authority and responsibilities of the position, as well as the stylistic influences of the era, which combined elements of revolutionary simplicity with a return to formality and hierarchy.

Chataignier's work is significant for its historical accuracy and attention to detail, providing valuable insight into the civil uniforms and the symbolic aspects of clothing during a transformative period in French history. The depiction of the under prefect's costume not only captures the aesthetic qualities of the period but also reflects the broader cultural and political shifts that were occurring in France as it moved from revolutionary fervor to a more structured and bureaucratic state under Napoleon's rule.

The artwork is an important resource for historians, fashion scholars, and enthusiasts of the Napoleonic era, offering a tangible connection to the past and contributing to our understanding of the visual and material culture of early 19th-century France.
