Youth and Old Age is a 1894 oil by Jenő Gyárfás, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Couple, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
The painting, titled "Youth and Old Age," features a couple in a contemplative pose. The man, with a graying beard and hair, rests his chin on his fist, while the woman, with dark hair and a somber expression, gazes downward. Both figures are dressed in dark attire, set against a dark background. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, highlighting the couple's features and emotions. The overall mood is one of quiet reflection, inviting the viewer to ponder the themes of youth and old age. This painting can be found at the Hungarian National Gallery, where it is part of a collection that showcases the work of various artists, including Jenő Gyárfás.
Jenő Gyárfás (6 April 1857, in Sepsiszentgyörgy – 3 December 1925, in Sepsiszentgyörgy, renamed Sfântu Gheorghe) was a Hungarian portrait painter, graphic artist and writer.
