Our work is a study for a painting to be presented at the Salon.
The aristocrat takes up the classical elements of Boticcelli's work :the shell and the roses.
But its composition is more modern. The painting is more animated: the foam and the waves are more agitated, the birds and angels,twirling in the sky bring movement.
Finally,the vibrant touches marked by an almost tawny palette,make the canvas vibrate.
