About the sculpture
This little figure appears twice in The Gates of Hell – first close to The Thinker, and again head down on the central pillar. Rodin quickly turned it into a separate work and used it in other groups. This plaster version has a dedication to the Swedish businessman and amateur artist Charlie Waern, who allegedly modelled for the figure.
