Illustration

I saw the following painting depicting Pauline from commons and added it to the article. I think it fits in better. She is, after all, widely considered to be a true beauty of the Napoleontic era. This therefore fits better to that description. -The Bold Guy- (talk) 17:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Portrait

The best portrait I can remember to have seen of her can be found here. She may very well have looked pretty much like this. Her skin is unlikely to have been that yellowish but this could be an artefact of the photographing. Anyway, this painting is too old to have any copyright. If there originally was any it has long expired by now.
