Eugénie-Bernardine-Désirée Clary, reine de Suède (1781-1860) is a 1813 oil by François Gérard, depicting Sitting, held at Palace of Versailles.
The painting depicts a woman sitting in a chair, wearing a black dress with white puffy sleeves. The chair is red with gold trim and has a red pillow on the left side. The woman's right arm rests on the chair's armrest, while her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her lap. The woman's dark hair is pulled back, and she is looking to her right. The background of the painting is dark, with a window on the right side that shows a blue sky with white clouds and a building in the distance. The woman's pose and the dark background suggest a formal portrait. You might also want to look up the Palace of Versailles.
