"The Spelling Lesson: Esmeralda et sa chèvre" is a painting by the 19th-century British artist William Gale, which depicts a scene from Victor Hugo's novel "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame." In this artwork, Gale captures the moment where Esmeralda, the novel's heroine, is teaching her pet goat, Djali, to spell with the use of a tambourine that has letters on it. The painting is a reflection of the Romantic interest in medievalism and the exotic, which were prevalent themes in the literature and art of the time.

Gale's work is characterized by its attention to detail and the emotional connection between the characters and the viewer. The painting not only illustrates a scene from a popular literary work but also conveys the innocence and charm of Esmeralda, contrasting with the often grim and tragic events of the novel. The choice of subject reflects the Victorian fascination with historical and literary themes, as well as the period's taste for narrative paintings that told a story or depicted a moment of drama or sentiment.

The painting is notable for its rich color palette and the use of light to enhance the focal point of the composition—the interaction between Esmeralda and her goat. Gale's technique showcases his ability to render textures and surfaces, from Esmeralda's flowing garments to the goat's fur, contributing to the overall realism of the scene.

"The Spelling Lesson: Esmeralda et sa chèvre" is an example of the genre scenes that were popular among Victorian audiences, offering a window into the cultural and artistic interests of the era. While the painting may not be as widely recognized as the works of Gale's contemporaries, it remains a testament to the enduring appeal of Hugo's novel and the visual culture of the 19th century.
