More about this artwork
This artwork is a delicate and evocative drawing attributed to Auguste Rodin, depicting a nude woman in a dynamic pose. The figure is sketched with flowing, minimal lines that outline her form, suggesting motion or perhaps a momentary pause. Her body is twisted slightly, adding a sense of depth and movement. Her head is tilted upwards, and what appears to be her right arm is raised, perhaps in a gesture of emotion or expression.The use of light and shadow is minimal yet effective, imparting volume and dimensionality to the woman's figure with subtle gradations in shading. Despite the simplicity of detail, the drawing captures a profound sense of life and naturalism, characteristic of Rodin's work, which often explores human emotion and physical expression. The paper itself, tinged with the passage of time, also contributes to the overall vintage and timeless feel of the piece. This artwork beautifully exemplifies Rodin's mastery in capturing the essence of the human form with just a few precisely drawn lines.

Rodin was born into a poor family. After earning a living through sculpting decorative stoneworks, he entered art school. He then applied a craftsman-like approach to his work and modeled the human body with the naturalism that latterly became his unique style. Considered as the founder of modern sculpture, Rodin's original works clashed with predominant figurative sculpture from traditional themes of mythology and allegory since he celebrated individual human physicality.
