"A Secret Admirer" is a painting by Belgian artist Charles Hermans, created in the 19th century. As a notable work of art from the academic period, it exemplifies the fine detail, technical skill, and often romantic subject matter that characterized the academic art movement. The painting depicts a scene in which a young woman is portrayed receiving a letter, presumably from an admirer whose identity remains concealed, hence the title of the work. The expression on the woman's face and the intimate setting suggest a narrative of love, secrecy, and possibly the social mores of the time regarding courtship and romantic correspondence.

Charles Hermans (1839–1924) was a prominent figure in the Belgian art scene, known for his genre scenes and large-scale works that often addressed social issues and the human condition. "A Secret Admirer" is reflective of Hermans' interest in the private lives and emotional states of his subjects, as well as his ability to capture the nuances of light and texture that give life to the scene.

The painting is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its representation of the cultural and societal context of the period. It provides insight into the romantic ideals and the private sphere of the 19th-century bourgeoisie. As with many of Hermans' works, the painting may also invite interpretation in light of the broader social dynamics of the era, including the roles and expectations of women in society.

"A Secret Admirer" remains an important work for the study of Charles Hermans' oeuvre and the academic art movement. It continues to be appreciated for its technical mastery, its evocative portrayal of human emotion, and its window into the historical context of its creation.
