"Grand Palais (couple on stairs)" by American artist Alec Soth showcases the perfectly manicured woman with all her trappings: fur, Chanel (suit, bag, shopping bag, etc.) and an insouciant boy with his tousled hair and heavy boots. Is he a model with his mother? Facial tattoos or make-up from the last show? Perhaps a kept boy? Are they the first to arrive or the last to leave?
