"First Interview Of The Divorced Empress Josephine With The King of Rome" is a historical painting by the British artist Henrietta Mary Ada Ward (1832–1924). The artwork captures a poignant moment in French history, depicting the meeting between the divorced Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais and her stepson, Napoleon François Charles Joseph Bonaparte, also known as the King of Rome, who was the son of her former husband, Emperor Napoleon I, and his second wife, Archduchess Marie Louise of Austria.

Henrietta Mary Ada Ward was known for her historical and genre paintings, and she often drew upon significant historical events for her subject matter. This painting is particularly notable for its emotional depth and historical accuracy, as Ward was celebrated for her meticulous attention to detail in period costumes and settings. The scene is likely to be an imagined one, as there is no historical record of such an interview taking place after Joséphine's divorce from Napoleon in 1810. However, Ward's portrayal reflects the complex relationships and dramatic personal histories that characterized the Napoleonic era.

The painting is a testament to Ward's skill in capturing the nuances of human expression and interaction. The figures are rendered with sensitivity, and the composition conveys the bittersweet nature of the encounter. The artwork serves as an example of the Victorian fascination with the romantic and tragic aspects of history, as well as the era's penchant for narrative paintings that tell a story or illustrate a moment of historical significance.

As an artist, Henrietta Mary Ada Ward received recognition during her lifetime and was one of the few female members of the Royal Academy of Arts. Her works were exhibited widely and collected by patrons of the arts in the 19th century. "First Interview Of The Divorced Empress Josephine With The King of Rome" remains an important piece within her oeuvre, offering insight into the social and historical interests of the period as well as the artistic achievements of women painters in the Victorian era.
