The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries
is an
oil painting
on canvas completed by
Jacques-Louis David
in 1812. It depicts French Emperor
Napoleon
, wearing the uniform of a colonel of the
Imperial Guard
Foot Grenadiers, standing in his study at the
Tuileries Palace
. Unlike David's earlier painting
Napoleon Crossing the Alps
, here the emperor is depicted as a civil hero rather than a military one, though his martial prowess is alluded to through the sword on his chair. The painting has been in the collection of the
National Gallery of Art
in
Washington, D.C.
, since 1954.

Jacques-Louis David
