Although not titled this painting shows the iconographic elements of representations of Esmeralda with the presence of the goat, the tambourine on a shelf, and a gothic column in the background. It is part of the series of portraits of Esmeralda, the representative in his room with his goat Djali that may be related to two moments of the story. Basically when Esmeralda actually "learn the letters" Djali, or when refugee as much as sequestered in Notre Dame. This last theme that experienced the greatest success with the famous painting of Charles Steuben, 1841 salon, now the Museum of Fine Arts in Nantes. If the Gothic column appears connect the table to this theme, Lionel Royer treats here in an unusual way. Indeed, it does not show Esmeralda, dreamy and melancholy bored in his seclusion, but instead happily playing with his goat.

Nothing is known of the date and context of realization of this work seems, however, be dependent on the work of Luc-Olivier Merson for the illustration of Notre Dame de Paris in the National Edition whose volumes were published in 1889 or the composition that drew the frontispiece of the chapter "a tear for a drop of water" to meet the command of Paul Meurice in 1902 (inv. No. 203). The costume of Esmeralda is indeed close to that invented by the painter (long dress, belt, bustier).
