About the piece
Painted by Georges Victor-Hugo in 1868, this work captures a corner of Hauteville House, the Guernsey residence of his grandfather, Victor Hugo. The composition features the staircase of the 'look-out' seen through an open door, characterized by deep shadows, warm wood tones, and a striking circular window that draws the eye into the space.
