In this tender and contemplative scene from Le Poème de l'âme, Anne-François-Louis Janmot presents a luminous allegory of companionship at twilight. The young man and woman, barefoot and seated upon a windswept hill, gaze gently toward the horizon as the sun sinks below the distant sea. Draped in diaphanous white and warm sienna robes, the pair exude quiet intimacy—hand in hand, at rest yet alert to the passage of time. Trees bend behind them in the evening breeze, evoking the stillness before departure. Painted in a Symbolist spirit, the work speaks of love, memory, and the soul’s serene reflection as day fades into dusk.
