Portret van Eugène de Beauharnais c. 1805 - 1849

This is an engraving of Eugène de Beauharnais, created between 1805 and 1849 by French artist François Louis Couché. The portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures Eugène in a close-up view, with the focus on his facial features. The artwork's style is characteristic of the Neoclassical period with its emphasis on realism and clear lines, but the subject matter is related to the French Empire of the time. The engraving portrays Eugène's status as a prominent figure within the French society.
