Napoleon and Josephine Visiting the Studio of David, January 4, 1808

This lithograph is based on a drawing by Norblin depicting the visit of Napoléon, Josephine, and their entourage to the studio of Jacques Louis David (1748-1825) to see the recently completed Coronation of Josephine. Napoleon, gesturing towards the picture with his tricorne, looks back towards the artist to praise his achievement.
