About the piece
This charming oil portrait by Julie Hugo depicts Adèle Foucher, the future wife of writer Victor Hugo. Painted around 1820, the work showcases the artist's skill in capturing a gentle expression and the rich textures of the sitter's dress against a moody, shadowed backdrop typical of the Romantic era.
