Description
ナポレオン3世（在位：1852-70）の妻、皇后ウジェニーを描いた肖像画。スペイン貴族の家の娘として、スペインのグラナダに生まれる。幼い頃、パリのサクレ・クール寺院の修道院で教育を受けた。彼女の美貌はパリの社交界では有名で、数名の貴族から求婚されたが全て断っていたという。皇帝ナポレオン3世と即位の翌年に結婚。彼女はオートクチュールの創始者シャルル＝フレデリック・ウォルトに宮廷の衣装を手がけさせ、パリの社交界のファッションリーダー的な存在となった。本作では式典用の礼服に身を包んだウジェニーの姿が描かれている。こうした礼服にも当時の流行である「クリノリン・スタイル」の釣鐘状に広がったスカートが用いられているのが確認できる。
