In this image the author displays a vibrant scene of nineteenth-century inspiration. In the center a group of aristocrats can be observed leaving behind a barouche. Their expression mixes surprise and amusement, as a gentleman holds a lady by the arm while interacting with the other young women in the group. The author's virtuoso brushstroke captures the movement, the complacency and the luminosity of the moment.
This link with the representation of fashions, reached its maximum popularity during the nineteenth century, extending during the twentieth century, linked to the development of male fashion and the emergence of social figures such as the English dandy or the Spanish petimetre. As for the scene that represents a gallant theme, the image is defined to the viewer by offering a complacent, idyllic theme, which portrays a scene rescued from everyday life from a cheerful and carefree perspective.
