The artwork named “Marguerite” was created by Hugues Merle and belongs to the Academicism art movement.
The artwork presents a finely detailed portrait of a young woman adorned in traditional attire. The subject is seen wearing a headscarf that is delicately draped around her head and shoulders, with a portion of the fabric tied neatly beneath her chin. Her expression is serene and contemplative, and her gaze engagingly meets the viewer’s eyes. The intricate detailing of her costume, including the embroidered band contrasting against the white fabric of her headscarf and the black and gold elements on her dress, further exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship that is characteristic of Academicism. The refined use of light and shadow accentuates the delicate features of the woman, rendering a lifelike and elegant portrayal.
