Portrait of a woman with her two children
Circa 1804, Napoleonic era, by François-Joseph Kinson
This family portrait is very interesting because it illustrates the fashion of Napoleon’s time. The mother wears a velvet dress with the characteristic high waist and puffed sleeves. Her dark blue dress with a short corsage is set with decorations inspired by military uniforms. Kinson very carefully painted these brandebourgs of gold thread and the matching knotted string with two tassels. The daughter is portrayed in a fashionable white silk dress finished with a fur strip. Her updo is very similar to her mother’s: with a parting in the middle, a chignon at the back of the head and graceful ringlets along the temples. Her brother is depicted in a dark-colored suit with a white shirt underneath with a stand-up collar. The luxurious red cashmere scarf on the velvet upholstered sofa completes the empire portrait.

This portrait of Jerome Bonaparte (1784-1860), Napoleon’s younger brother, depicts a scene from his early adult life (from 1800 to 1806) spent in the French navy. It was painted by the prolific Flemish portraitist François-Joseph Kinson (1771–1839) (or Kinsoen with the original Flemish spelling) who would later be chosen as Jerome’s official painter when the latter was King of Westphalia. This painting is undated, details on the painting as well as chronology and circumstance would suggest that this representation most likely depicts the moment in the naval career of Jerome when, as a young Commander (after 21 May 1805), he undertook two consecutive missions between his return to Europe in April 1805 and the end of the following year. Jerome is dressed in the uniform of an officer. It is interesting to see that elements of a French commander and an admirals uniform unite here. Why ? good question can not be answered correctly.
