Like victorious warriors in Greek and Roman times, Napoleon chose it for his imperial crown as a symbol of his power, while Joséphine also adopted it to display her sovereign status, wearing a laurel-leaf tiara for the coronation. Nitot appropriated the classical symbol in turn, creating harmoniously symmetrical arrangements that were characteristic of the imperial jewels. The tiara was the centerpiece of the sumptuous ceremonial parures supplied by the jeweler, the crown that drew the eye, focused and raised people's gazes, and transfigured and deified the wearer. In this parure, depicted with precision by Regnault, the empress's tiara features two large laurel branches studded with diamonds that joined above the forehead, over a floral band set with splendid emeralds, a type of naturalistic composition typical of the Empire style
