"Empress Charlotte of Mexico (1840-1927), Daughter of Leopold I of Belgium and Wife of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico (1832-67)" is a notable painting by the French artist Isidore Alexandre Augustin Pils, created in the 19th century. The artwork captures the likeness of Charlotte of Belgium, also known as Empress Carlota of Mexico, who was the consort of Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico. Born as Princess Charlotte of Belgium, she was the daughter of King Leopold I of Belgium and became the only Empress consort of the Second Mexican Empire during its brief existence from 1864 to 1867.

Pils, a respected historical painter, was known for his academic style and his ability to convey the grandeur and drama of historical scenes and figures. In this portrait, Pils immortalizes Empress Charlotte, highlighting her royal dignity and the tragic narrative of her life. Charlotte's marriage to Maximilian, the younger brother of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, led her to Mexico where her husband's reign was supported by French Emperor Napoleon III. However, the Mexican Empire was short-lived, and following its collapse and Maximilian's execution in 1867, Charlotte's life was marked by mental instability and seclusion.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the imperial imagery and the personal story of a 19th-century European princess who became entwined with the fate of a nation across the Atlantic. The artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the ambitions and turmoil of the era, as well as the personal tragedies that often accompanied political power struggles.
