"Penelope ca. 1868" is a painting by Charles François Marchal, a French artist known for his historical and genre paintings. Created around 1868, this artwork delves into the theme of Penelope from Greek mythology, who is often symbolized as a paragon of marital fidelity. Marchal's interpretation is likely to reflect Penelope's enduring wait for her husband Odysseus's return from the Trojan War, a popular subject in 19th-century European art that emphasized virtues of loyalty and patience.

The painting might depict Penelope at her loom, where she famously wove and then unraveled a tapestry to delay remarrying until Odysseus's return. Marchal's style, characterized by detailed realism and emotional depth, would focus on capturing the solemnity and resolve in Penelope's expression. The use of lighting, color, and texture would enhance the narrative, emphasizing the tension between hope and despair.

As with many of Marchal's works, the historical accuracy in terms of costumes and settings, combined with a romanticized portrayal of its subjects, would be expected. This painting, like others from the period, not only serves as an artistic expression but also as a reflection of the societal values and interests of the time, particularly in the idealization of female virtue and the exploration of mythological themes.
