The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries by Jacques-Louis David, 1812
A Scottish aristocrat who admired him ordered this, from what I can find — not the man in it, who is doubted to have sat for it at all. The pitch being made is the ruler up all night writing the law code rather than out winning battles, which was a useful thing to be selling by then.
Erisava: This is a man selling himself to me. What am I supposed to buy?
