It is not the official flag of the empire. In fact, this was just a design for the official pattern of the flag of the kingdom of brazil. Well, according to the original from the national archives, reproduced in 1972. Note that in this pattern the cap of the imperial crown is in green. Debret's original project was for the piece to be in green, but the then director of the imperial academy of fine arts, félix tounay, together with dom pedro i, advocated that the cap be made in sips (red), as the green was in the crown of portugal, so the red was to brazilianize the heraldry of brazil's shield of arms.
