Victor Hugo, De Trois Quarts

Auguste Rodin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketched portrait of a man's head and shoulders in a three-quarter profile position, facing to the right. The man has long, receding hair and a full beard. His facial features include deep-set eyes and prominent cheekbones. He is wearing a high-collared garment, and the name "Victor Hugo" is inscribed below the portrait. The background is plain with sketch lines for texture, and there is a handwritten note on the bottom right.
