ロダンは数々の著名人の肖像彫刻を残している。とりわけ彫刻家として名声を獲得した晩年の1900年代には、各界の名士からの肖像制作の依頼がひきもきらなかった。このヴィクトル・ユゴーの肖像は、比較的若い時分の作品に属する。老齢におよんでモデルになるのを嫌ったユゴーは、批評家エドモン・バジールの仲立ちで、ロダンに肖像制作を許可したものの、積極的にはその制作に応じなかったので、結局、ロダンは書斎のユゴーをバルコニーの外から観察したと伝えられている。結果的にこの肖像はユゴー家には好意的に迎えられなかったようであり、ユゴーの死に際して、遺族はロダンの友人の彫刻家ダルーに改めてデス・マスクの採取を依頼している。（出典: デジタルギャラリー. 1999-2006）

Rodin sculpted many a portrait of celebrities. Particularly in the 1900s, his late years in which he had gained fame as a sculptor, he incessantly received commissions from notables of all circles. This statue of Victor Hugo was executed when Rodin was still quite young. Hugo hesitated to model at his old age. Although Rodin was given permission to create a portrait through the mediation of the critic Edmond Bazire, Hugo's response was not at all positive so that, in the end, Rodin is said to have observed Hugo in his study from outside on the balcony. This portrait does not seem to have been received favourably by the Hugos. Upon Hugo's death, the bereaved family reengaged the sculptor Jules Dalou, a friend of Rodin, to take a death mask.
