"Napoleon I in His Study" is a prominent oil painting by the French artist Jacques-Louis David, completed in 1812. This work of art is a classic example of David's neoclassical style and is renowned for its detailed representation of Napoleon Bonaparte, then Emperor of the French, in the private setting of his study at the Tuileries Palace.

The painting depicts Napoleon standing beside his desk, dressed in the uniform of a colonel of the Imperial Guard Foot Grenadiers, with the Legion of Honor star and the gold embroidered hilt of his sword visible, signifying his military prowess and authority. His pose is contrived yet relaxed, with one hand inserted into his jacket—a gesture often associated with the Emperor and thought to reflect calm and collected leadership.

David's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the realistic rendering of textures and objects within the room, including the sumptuous velvet of Napoleon's attire, the polished wood of the furniture, and the papers scattered on the desk, which suggest the Emperor's tireless work ethic. The warm, subdued lighting of the scene highlights the central figure and creates a sense of intimacy, inviting viewers to contemplate the private moments of a public figure.

The painting serves not only as a portrait of the Emperor but also as a symbol of his administrative diligence and the Napoleonic code, with the codes of law books subtly included in the composition. It was commissioned by the Scottish nobleman Alexander Douglas-Hamilton, 10th Duke of Hamilton, and has since become an iconic image of Napoleon, often reproduced and referenced in various cultural contexts.

"Napoleon I in His Study" is housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and remains a significant work in the study of French painting and the iconography of one of history's most influential and controversial leaders.
