The composition focuses on the upper body of Hugo, with an emphasis on his face, suggesting the importance of the individual and the Romantic interest in personal expression and emotion. The use of light and shadow in the portrait adds to the dramatic effect, highlighting the features of Hugo's face and drawing attention to his contemplative demeanor.
