This jacquard composition derives from Empress Eugénie's commission for the Elysée Palace, executed at Beauvais during the Second Empire, featuring a classical statue surrounded by gilded columns and crowned by two angels. The 187 x 75 cm portrait format creates monumental vertical presence that reflects imperial taste for combining classical sculpture with architectural grandeur and celestial imagery. The design demonstrates how Second Empire decorative arts integrated multiple artistic traditions - classical statuary, baroque architectural elements, and religious symbolism - into unified compositions that projected political authority through cultural sophistication. The angelic figures crowning the composition add spiritual dimension that elevated secular imperial power through divine associations. Woven from 72% cotton, 25% viscose, and 3% polyester with cotton lining, this portière appeals to collectors of French imperial art and those fascinated by how political commissions transformed functional textiles into statements of dynastic legitimacy that preserved imperial aesthetic preferences long after their original political contexts had vanished.
