Empress Eugénie by Claude Marie Dubufe (Musee Municipal, Trouville)
Dress can be timeless, as this Dubufe portrait of Empress Eugénie shows, but the lack of a cage crinoline suggests the early 1850s.
An article about the painter Claude Marie Dubufe is here.
Her dress has a stomacher and the waistline has a very shallow vee, essentially a natural waistline.
