Two young people are tenderly entwined. Sitting on a barely bloc sided, man holds the girl on his lap. She hugged the head of his companion and his face closer to hers in trustful abandonment.Naked body with smooth shapes emanates a deep sensuality. The drapery covering the young woman slipped between them. The light playing on the delicate patterned marble consolidates all the sweetness of the moment.

The group evokes the famous Kiss by Rodin. But J. Bernard is expressed through the new language of direct carving, without the prior sale of a model in clay or plaster. This movement sought to find a sincere concern, the primary purpose of the sculpture, that the size, in reaction against the academic practice of modeling.

Tenderness drift torque Youth installed on the pedestal of the monument to Servetus in Vienna.
