"Marguerite" (1878) is a portrait painting by the French artist Hugues Merle (1823-1881). The painting depicts a young woman with a delicate, almost ethereal, beauty. The use of soft light and the delicate white veil she wears enhance her feminine charm. The intricate details of her clothing and the simple beauty of the daisy pinned to her chest add to the overall sense of elegance and grace. This piece represents the artistic style of the 19th century and the popularity of portraiture, particularly in France.
