(*) "Copy after an original by François Joseph Kinson [Franciscus Josephus Kinsoen] (1771–1839) commissioned by Napoleon for the Hall of the Marshals of the Tuileries Palace in Paris.

Kinson's original, painted 1804, was destroyed by fire during the Paris Commune 1871. This copy painted during the time of the Second French Empire (mid 19th century), is our only clue to what the original portrait looked like.

The Marshal, wears the Grand Croix of the Légion d'honneur and the Order of the Black Eagle, the later awarded to him in 1805.":
