Emile Friant often depicted young couples in his paintings, building his composition in the interplay of gestures, looks and hands. "Casting Shadows" is a painting on a similar subject. But this is far more innovative and radical than the others. It plays on the importance of lighting in a painting and how an artist can play with it and create new, wonderful things out of it. Here, the lovers are placed against a blank wall. An unseen light source is directed upwards, casting the lovers' shadows on the wall, elongated and towering over them. Clothed in black, the lovers are painted in detail but at the same time, they resemble a silhouette, making them one and the same with their respective shadows on the wall.
