<i><b>Monument à Victor Hugo dit du Palais Royale</b></i> ("Monument to Victor Hugo, known as the Palais Royal Monument") is the result of a commission received by Auguste Rodin in 1889 to make a monument to the writer and politician Victor Hugo.   After several false starts, Rodin made a statue of Hugo alone, which was erected in the Palais Royal in 1909.  In the version of the completed monument, dated from 1922-23, Hugo is accompanied by The Tragic Muse. This version was cast from a model made after 1900. (Source: Musée Rodin)
