EXALTATION OF THE YOUTH, Francois Vax, France, 2nd half of the 19th century 19th century
Full-length depiction of a French young man. Caught in suspension, he moves in a very exalted manner.
His temples are decorated with a sophisticated headdress, completing the chic look. And on the coat sliding off the shoulder, waves of delicate hair flow.
The whole thing exudes lightness and youthful charm.
