"Juliette Récamier" is an unfinished portrait by the prominent French painter Jacques-Louis David, begun in 1800. The subject of the painting, Jeanne Françoise Julie Adélaïde Récamier, known as Juliette, was a celebrated socialite and patron of the arts in Paris. Her salon attracted the foremost writers and artists of the era, and she became an icon of neoclassical beauty and style.

The painting depicts Madame Récamier reclining on a Directoire style sofa in a simple white Empire line dress, with her bare feet tucked under her gown. The setting is sparse and the background is largely undefined, which focuses the viewer's attention on the figure of Récamier. The work is characterized by the smooth neoclassical lines and cool color palette typical of David's style. However, the portrait is notably unfinished, with parts of the canvas only sketched in and lacking the detailed finish found in David's fully realized works.

Commissioned by Récamier herself, the portrait's incompletion is a subject of speculation. Some suggest that David abandoned the work because he was dissatisfied with it, while others propose that political differences between the artist and the sitter may have played a role, as David was a staunch supporter of Napoleon, and Récamier was known to sympathize with his opponents.

Despite its unfinished state, the portrait is celebrated for its elegance and for capturing the essence of Récamier's renowned beauty. It remains an important example of David's portraiture and of the neoclassical movement in French painting. The work is held in the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to attract interest and admiration from scholars and the public alike.
