It stands as a significant example of Bonapartist art, crafted with extraordinary precision and attention to detail. The maquette is constructed from intricately cut, re-drilled, and assembled wood, designed to form a miniature model of a temple or church. The structure is crowned by a bronze figure of Emperor Napoleon I, which adds to its historical and artistic significance.

The model features a complex architectural design, with four removable registers that allow for a detailed examination of the interior structure. The maquette’s dome is an impressive focal point, and at its base, the signature and date “M / J / A. Canet / L’an 1885” can be found, linking this work to the skilled artisan A. Canet. This date and signature are an indication of the craftsmanship and historical context in which the maquette was created less
