This painting was dated 1832 by Aristide Mary in his monograph on Louis Boulanger, published in 1925 and written into the input register under "Léopoldine Hugo at the age of seven," which appeared somewhat consistent with the appearance of the model. This date was based perhaps on to Sainte-Beuve dated August 22, 1832, in the "Book of Love": "Already with noble art, worthy as Infanta / Dreamer and the right port in the baggy fabric, / Assisi, without play, in the lounge, garden / the raised lip where fleet disdain, / where prelude nascent high fantasy / her last at great traits Baker grabbed / From his brush rapid glorious chance, / the Leopoldina is the daughter of the Caesars. "In his catalog of the Museum's collections, in 1957, John Sergeant had dated from 1827, while assuming its submission to the Salon of 1827, based on a note of Count de Forbin to Victor Hugo:" The Cte ​​de Forbin is too happy to do something that is pleasing to Mr. Vor Hugo; he hastens to thank him for the kind letter he kindly contact him and to which Mr de Forbin clip while the price it deserves.

This 16 Xbre 1827 ". Although the work is not in the Fair catalog, it was published for its opening and on a list adopted by the date "November 4, 1827," as stated in its title, it is not quite exclude a late submission of the portrait, at the end of the year. If the ticket count Forbin relates well to the portrait of Leopoldina, it can in any case the one dated 1827. Booked on the presentation at the show but recalling lithography Leon dated Christmas 1828, Pierre Georgel held in a conservative dating [1827-1828]. He also stressed the similarity between the peacock on the left side of the table and the watercolor "East" from the former collection of the publisher Gosselin (MVHPD1352), linking more closely again this portrait to the context of drafting the collection "The Oriental" in its 1827 to 1828 years. The English vein of this portrait reflecting the vogue launched by the presentation of works by Bonington and Lawrence in 1824. Made of living at the time when the family of Victor Hugo lived in the Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs, this painting followed rue Jean Goujon, before being hung on the walls of the apartment in the Place Royale.
