Was Josephine of course. He was enamoured with many women, including his second wife.
But it was Josephine's name on his lips when he died.
There weren't that many pieces produced with Josephine as subject though.
This one dates from 1806 and is a repoussé, which poorly translated means "pushed-back" (Laurent?)
It's uniface, made of tin or pewter and as you see was gilded.
The back side is a "negative" of the front and it's very fragile.
