Poetry, with a naked bust and her lyre on the ground nearby, cries while sitting in front of the coffin of the poet. Fame stands behind her. In one hand she holds a trumpet and in the other hand she raises a palm over her head. The name of Victor Hugo is inscribed in the radiating light above the figures.
