The "Bust of Empress Josephine" is a notable neoclassical sculpture created by the French artist Joseph Chinard (1756–1813). Renowned for his portrait busts, Chinard sculpted this particular piece in 1805, capturing the likeness of Joséphine de Beauharnais, the first wife of Napoleon Bonaparte and the first Empress of the French. This work is significant as it represents Josephine during the height of her influence and captures the elegance and refined aesthetic of the Napoleonic era.

Crafted from marble, the bust exemplifies Chinard's mastery of form and his ability to convey both the physical and psychological presence of his sitters. The sculpture is characterized by its detailed rendering of Josephine's features, her serene expression, and the intricate details of her attire, which reflect her status and the fashions of the period. The bust also includes elements that symbolize her imperial role, such as a diadem and drapery that suggest a classical toga, linking her to the tradition of ancient Roman portraiture and reinforcing the neoclassical style that was prevalent during her time.

The "Bust of Empress Josephine" is not only an important work of art in its own right but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the political and cultural milieu of early 19th-century France. It is a testament to the skill of Joseph Chinard, who was highly regarded by his contemporaries and remains celebrated for his contributions to neoclassical sculpture.

The bust is held in various collections, with versions found in prominent museums, including the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Chinard's hometown. Its artistic significance and historical value make it a subject of interest for scholars studying the Napoleonic era, French art, and the evolution of sculptural portraiture.
