Title
The Sculpture Gallery in the Louvre Museum, 1806
Description
The Louvre was opened as a museum in 1793 and admission was free to the public on weekends. The antique sculpture collection was added in 1800 into the former apartments of Anne of Austria or the petite galerie. The woman in the foreground is wearing a châle cachmire or cashmere shawl. These shawls, imported from India, were ironically made more popular after the 1806 continental embargo, making cashmere shawls very expensive to obtain. Her hat is a bonnet with feathers, attached with a silk ribbon and was very popular during the time of Napoleon I.
