Louis-Simon Boizot (1743-1809), an influential sculptor and director of the sculpture workshop at the Sèvres Porcelain Manufactory, left his mark on Neoclassical art with his depictions of Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1798, he created his first bust in biscuit porcelain, capturing the image of the young general with remarkable precision. His work, notable for its finesse and detail, draws inspiration from Bonaparte's characteristic features, as immortalized by artists such as Jacques-Louis David.

A few years later, in 1803, when Bonaparte became First Consul, Boizot created a second bust, reflecting this decisive turning point in his political career. These sculptures, produced in various materials such as biscuit porcelain, bronze, and marble, contributed to the widespread dissemination of Napoleon's image among the public. They also illustrate an early phenomenon of popularization through artistic objects.

Boizot's creations occupy an important place in the history of portrait sculpture, testifying both to the rise of the Napoleonic figure and to the talent of this emblematic Neoclassical artist. Today, they are part of prestigious collections, such as that of the Fondation Napoléon.
