Auguste RodinFrance, 1840–1917Peut-on la contempler ?
Stockholm, Suède
Le propriétaire est connu. Si elle est exposée aujourd’hui, le musée ne le dit pas, et l’on ne nous a pas appris à deviner.
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.
